We now have code to detect the CPU topology at runtime, and can also
populate the CPU nodes in a devicetree accordingly. This is used by the
ARM FPGA port, for instance.
But also a GICv3 compatible interrupt controller provides MMIO frames
per core, so the size of this region needs to be adjusted in the DT,
to match the number of cores as well.

Provide a generic function to find the GICv3 interrupt controller in
the DT, then adjust the "reg" entry to match the number of detected
cores. Since the size of the GICR frame per cores differs between
GICv4 and GICv3, this size is supplied as a parameter to the function.
The caller should determine the applicable value by either hardcoding
it or by observing GICR_TYPER.VLPIS.

This patch creates and populates the /cpus node in a device tree
based on the existing topology. It uses the minimum required nodes
and properties to satisfy the binding as specified in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt

Moving the FDT helper functions to the common/ directory exposed the file
to MISRA checking, which is mandatory for common code.

Fix the complaints that the test suite reported.

PSCI uses different function IDs for CPU_SUSPEND and CPU_ON, depending on
the architecture used (AArch64 or AArch32).
For recent PSCI versions the client will determine the right version,
but for PSCI v0.1 we need to put some ID in the DT node. At the moment
we always add the 64-bit IDs, which is not correct if TF-A is built for
AArch32.

Use the function IDs matching the TF-A build architecture, for the two
IDs where this differs. This only affects legacy OSes using PSCI v0.1.

On the way remove the sys_poweroff and sys_reset properties, which were
never described in the official PSCI DT binding.

Since we moved some functions that amend a DT blob in memory to common
code, let's add proper function documentation.
This covers the three exported functions in common/fdt_fixup.c.

If a firmware component like TF-A reserves special memory regions for
its own or secure payload services, it should announce the location and
size of those regions to the non-secure world. This will avoid
disappointment when some rich OS tries to acccess this memory, which
will likely end in a crash.

The traditional way of advertising reserved memory using device tree is
using the special memreserve feature of the device tree blob (DTB).
However by definition those regions mentioned there do not prevent the
rich OS to map this memory, which may lead to speculative accesses to
this memory and hence spurious bus errors.

A safer way of carving out memory is to use the /reserved-memory node as
part of the normal DT structure. Besides being easier to setup, this
also defines an explicit "no-map" property to signify the secure-only
nature of certain memory regions, which avoids the rich OS to
accidentally step on it.

Add a helper function to allow platform ports to easily add a region.

The QEMU platform port scans its device tree to advertise PSCI as the
CPU enable method. It does this by scanning *every* node in the DT and
check whether its compatible string starts with "arm,cortex-a". Then it
sets the enable-method to PSCI, if it doesn't already have one.

Other platforms might want to use this functionality as well, so let's
move it out of the QEMU platform directory and make it more robust by
fixing some shortcomings:
- A compatible string starting with a certain prefix is not a good way
to find the CPU nodes. For instance a "arm,cortex-a72-pmu" node will
match as well and is in turn favoured with an enable-method.
- If the DT already has an enable-method, we won't change this to PSCI.

Those two issues will for instance fail on the Raspberry Pi 4 DT.
To fix those problems, we adjust the scanning method:
The DT spec says that all CPU nodes are subnodes of the mandatory
/cpus node, which is a subnode of the root node. Also each CPU node has
to have a device_type = "cpu" property. So we find the /cpus node, then
scan for a subnode with the proper device_type, forcing the
enable-method to "psci".
We have to restart this search after a property has been patched, as the
node offsets might have changed meanwhile.

This allows this routine to be reused for the Raspberry Pi 4 later.
