The FWU Multi Bank Update feature supports updating firmware images
to one of multiple sets(also called banks) of images. The firmware
images are clubbed together in banks, with the system booting images
from the active bank. Information on the images such as which bank
they belong to is stored as part of the metadata structure, which is
stored on the same storage media as the firmware images on a dedicated
partition.
At the time of update, the metadata is read to identify the bank to
which the images need to be flashed(update bank). On a successful
update, the metadata is modified to set the updated bank as active
bank to subsequently boot from.

The FWU Multi Bank Update specification requires the Update Agent to
carry out certain checks at the time of platform boot. The Update
Agent is the component which is responsible for updating the firmware
components and maintaining and keeping the metadata in sync.
The spec requires that the Update Agent perform the following checks
at the time of boot
* Sanity check of both the metadata copies maintained by the platform.
* Get the boot index passed to U-Boot by the prior stage bootloader
and use this value for metadata bookkeeping.
* Check if the system is booting in Trial State. If the system boots
in the Trial State for more than a specified number of boot counts,
change the Active Bank to be booting the platform from.
Call these checks through the main loop event at the time of platform
boot.

The FWU Multi Bank Update feature allows the platform to boot the
firmware images from one of the partitions(banks). The first stage
bootloader(fsbl) passes the value of the boot index, i.e. the bank
from which the firmware images were booted from to U-Boot. On the
STM32MP157C-DK2 board, this value is passed through one of the SoC's
backup register. Add a function to read the boot index value from the
backup register.

Add weak functions for getting the update index value and dfu
alternate number needed for FWU Multi Bank update
functionality.
The current implementation for getting the update index value is for
platforms with 2 banks. If a platform supports more than 2 banks, it
can implement it's own function. The function to get the dfu alternate
number has been added for platforms with GPT partitioned storage
devices. Platforms with other storage partition scheme need to
implement their own function.

In the FWU Multi Bank Update feature, the information about the
updatable images is stored as part of the metadata, on a separate
partition. Add a driver for reading from and writing to the metadata
when the updatable images and the metadata are stored on a block
device which is formatted with GPT based partition scheme.

In the FWU Multi Bank Update feature, the information about the
updatable images is stored as part of the metadata, which is stored on
a dedicated partition. Add the metadata structure, and a driver model
uclass which provides functions to access the metadata. These are
generic API's, and implementations can be added based on parameters
like how the metadata partition is accessed and what type of storage
device houses the metadata.
