The PL011 TRM (ARM DDI 0183G) specifies that the UART must be
disabled before any of the control registers are programmed. The
PL011 driver included in TF does not disable the UART, so the
initialization in BL2 and BL31 is violating this requirement
(and potentially in BL1 if the UART is enabled after reset).

This patch modifies the initialization function in the PL011
console driver to disable the UART before programming the
control registers.

Register clobber list and documentation updated.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#300

Change-Id: I839b2d681d48b03f821ac53663a6a78e8b30a1a1

This patch modifies the Tegra port to support the new platform
APIs so that we can disable the compat layer. This includes
modifications to the power management and platform topology code.

This patch programs the CPUECTLR_EL1 and L2ECTLR_EL1 registers,
so that the core waits for 512 generic timer CNTVALUEB ticks before
entering retention state, after executing a WFI instruction.

This functionality is configurable and can be enabled for platforms
by setting the newly defined 'ENABLE_L2_DYNAMIC_RETENTION' and
'ENABLE_CPU_DYNAMIC_RETENTION' flag.

A new config, ENABLE_NS_L2_CPUECTRL_RW_ACCESS, allows Tegra platforms to
enable read/write access to the L2 and CPUECTRL registers. T210 is the
only platform that needs to enable this config for now.

T210 is the latest chip in the Tegra family of SoCs from NVIDIA. It is an
ARM v8 dual-cluster (A57/A53) SoC, with any one of the clusters being active
at a given point in time.

This patch adds support to boot the Trusted Firmware on T210 SoCs. The patch
also adds support to boot secondary CPUs, enter/exit core power states for
all CPUs in the slow/fast clusters. The support to switch between clusters
is still not available in this patch and would be available later.
