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

As secondary cores show up, they populate an array to
announce themselves so plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() can
return an invalid COREID code for any non-existing
MPIDR that it is queried about.

The Power Domain Tree Description is populated with
a topology based on the maximum harcoded values.

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 arm_fpga platform code contains an dubious line to initialise some
timer. On closer inspection this turn out to be bogus, as this was only
needed on some special (older) FPGA board, and is actually not needed on
the current model. Also the base address was wrong anyways.

Remove the code entirely.

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 sets the frequency of the system counter so that the Delay Timer
driver programs the correct value to CNTCRL. This value depends on
the FPGA image being used, and is 10MHz for the initial test image.
Once configured, the BL31 platform setup sequence then enables the
system counter.

This makes use of the PRELOADED_BL33_BASE flag to indicate to BL31 that
the BL33 payload (kernel) has already been loaded and resides in memory;
BL31 will then jump to the non-secure address.

For this port the BL33 payload is the Linux kernel, and in accordance
with the pre-kernel setup requirements (as specified in the `Booting
AArch64 Linux' documentation:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt

),
this change also sets up the primary CPU's registers x0-x3 so they are
the expected values, which includes the address of the DTB at x0.

An external linker script is currently required to combine BL31, the
BL33 payload, and any other software images to create an ELF file that
can be uploaded to the FPGA board along with the bit file. It therefore
has dependencies on the value of PRELOADED_BL33_BASE (kernel base) and
the DTB base (plus any other relevant base addresses used to
distinguish the different ELF sections), both of which are set in this
patch.

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.
