The command line for BL33 payloads is typically taken from the DTB. On
"normal" systems the bootloader will put the right version in there, but
we typically don't use one on the FPGAs.
To avoid editing (and possibly re-packaging) the DTB for every change in
the command line, try to read it from some "magic" memory location
instead. It can be easily placed there by the tool that uploads the
other payloads to the FPGA's memory. BL31 will then replace the existing
command line in the DTB with that new string.

To avoid reading garbage, check the memory location for containing a
magic value. This is conveniently chosen to be a simple ASCII string, so
it can just preceed the actual command line in a text file:
--------------------------------
CMD:console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 debug loglevel=8

The memory layout for the FPGA is fairly uniform for most of the FPGA
images, and we already assume that DRAM starts at 2GB by default.

Prepopulate PRELOADED_BL33_BASE and FPGA_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE to some
sane default values, to simplify building some stock image.
If people want to deviate from that, they can always override those
addresses on the make command line.

The only difference between GIC-500 and GIC-600 relevant to TF-A is the
differing power management sequence.
A certain GIC implementation is detectable at runtime, for instance by
checking the IIDR register. Let's add that test before initiating the
GIC-600 specific sequence, so the code can be used on both GIC-600 and
GIC-500 chips alike, without deciding on a GIC chip at compile time.

This means that the GIC-500 "driver" is now redundant. To allow minimal
platform support, add a switch to disable GIC-600 support.

The ARM Generic Timer DT binding describes an (optional) property to
declare the counter frequency. Its usage is normally discouraged, as the
value should be read from the CNTFRQ_EL0 system register.

However in our case we can use it to program this register in the first
place, which avoids us to hard code a counter frequency into the code.
We keep some default value in, if the DT lacks that property for
whatever reason.

The SCP firmware on the ARM FPGA initialises the UART already. This allows
us to treat the PL011 as an SBSA Generic UART, which does not require
any further setup.

This in particular removes the need for any baudrate and base clock related
settings to be hard coded into the BL31 image.

This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
with multiple FPGA images.

BL31 behaves differently depending on whether or not the CPUs in the
system use cache coherency, and as a result any CPU libraries that are
compiled together must serve processors that are consistent in this
regard.

This compiles a different set of CPU libraries depending on whether or
not the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY is enabled at build-time to indicate the
CPUs support hardware-level support for cache coherency. This build
flag is used in the makefile in the same way as the Arm FVP port.

This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
with multiple FPGA images.

The BL31 port that is uploaded as a payload to the FPGA with an image
should cater for a wide variety of system configurations. This patch
makes the necessary changes to enable it to function with images whose
cluster configurations may be larger (either by utilizing more
clusters, more CPUs per cluster, more threads in each CPU, or a
combination) than the initial image being used for testing.

As part of this, the hard-coded values that configure the size of the
array describing the topology of the power domain tree are increased
to max. 8 clusters, max. 8 cores per cluster & max 4 threads per core.
This ensures the port works with cluster configurations up to these
sizes. When there are too many entries for the number of available PEs,
e.g. if there is a variable number of CPUs between clusters, then there
will be empty entries in the array. This is permitted and the PSCI
library will still function as expected. While this increases its size,
this shouldn't be an issue in the context of the size of BL31, and is
worth the trade-off for the extra compatibility.

This initializes the GIC using the Arm GIC drivers in TF-A.
The initial FPGA image uses a GIC600 implementation, and so that its
power controller is enabled, this platform port calls the corresponding
implementation-specific routines.

This adds the minimal functions and definitions to create a basic
BL31 port for an initial FPGA image, in order for the port to be
uploaded to one the FPGA boards operated by an internal group within
Arm, such that BL31 runs as a payload for an image.

Future changes will enable the port for a wide range of system
configurations running on the FPGA boards to ensure compatibility with
multiple FPGA images.

It is expected that this will replace the FPGA fork of the Linux kernel
bootwrapper by performing similar secure-world initialization and setup
through the use of drivers and other well-established methods, before
passing control to the kernel, which will act as the BL33 payload and
run in EL2NS.

This change introduces a basic, loadable port with the console
initialized by setting the baud rate and base address of the UART as
configured by the Zeus image.

It is a BL31-only port, and RESET_TO_BL31 is enabled to reflect this.
