This flag warns if anything is declared more than once in the same
scope, even in cases where multiple declaration is valid and changes
nothing.

Consequently, this patch also fixes the issues reported by this
flag. Consider the following two lines of code from two different source
files(bl_common.h and bl31_plat_setup.c):

IMPORT_SYM(uintptr_t, __RO_START__, BL_CODE_BASE);
IMPORT_SYM(unsigned long, __RO_START__, BL2_RO_BASE);

The IMPORT_SYM macro which actually imports a linker symbol as a C expression.
The macro defines the __RO_START__ as an extern variable twice, one for each
instance. __RO_START__ symbol is defined by the linker script to mark the start
of the Read-Only area of the memory map.

Essentially, the platform code redefines the linker symbol with a different
(relevant) name rather than using the standard symbol. A simple solution to
fix this issue in the platform code for redundant declarations warning is
to remove the second IMPORT_SYM and replace it with following assignment

static const unsigned long BL2_RO_BASE = BL_CODE_BASE;

Current implementation of i.MX8QM power management related
features does NOT optimize power number, all system resources
like CCI, DDR, and A cluster etc. are kept in STBY mode (powered
ON) when system suspend or CPU hotplug.

To lower the power number, OFF mode should be adopted for those
system resources whenever they can be OFF, A cluster will be OFF
if the CPUs in the cluster are all off line, DDR/MU/DB can be OFF
if system suspend, IRQ steer can be OFF if the wakeup source is
belonged to system controller partition, so wakeup source runtime
check is used to determine if IRQ steer can be OFF before system
suspend.

If resources are powered off for suspend, they should be restored
properly after system resume.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.
