Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until
it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to
allocate memory for something that may never be used.
To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

Provide armffa command showcasing the use of the U-Boot FF-A support
armffa is a command showcasing how to invoke FF-A operations.
This provides a guidance to the client developers on how to
call the FF-A bus interfaces. The command also allows to gather secure
partitions information and ping these partitions. The command is also
helpful in testing the communication with secure partitions.
For more details please refer to the command documentation [1].
A Sandbox test is provided for the armffa command.

Some Linux parameters can be set automatically by U-Boot, if it knows the
device being used. For example, since U-Boot knows the serial console
being used, it can add parameters for earlycon and console.
Add support for this.
Note that this is an experimental feature and we will see how useful it
turns out to be. It is very handy for ChromeOS, since otherwise it is very
difficult to manually determine the UART address or port number,
particularly in a script.
Provide an example of how this is used with ChromeOS.

The read and write commands are, deliberately, implemented in the same
file, so that they stay feature-compatible (e.g. if someone implements
support for "read the full partition, however large that is", that
same syntax should also work for write). In order to ensure the
documentation for both are similarly kept in sync, and to avoid
duplication, document them both in read.rst, and add a stub write.rst
referring to read.rst.

Add a command to load SEAMA (Seattle Image), a NAND flash
on-flash storage format.
This type of flash image is found in some D-Link routers such
as DIR-645, DIR-842, DIR-859, DIR-860L, DIR-885L, DIR890L and
DCH-M225, as well as in WD and NEC routers on the ath79
(MIPS), Broadcom BCM53xx, and RAMIPS platforms.
This U-Boot command will read and decode a SEAMA image from
raw NAND flash on any platform. As it is always using big endian
format for the data decoding is always necessary on platforms
such as ARM.
The command is needed to read a SEAMA-encoded boot image on the
D-Link DIR-890L router for boot from NAND flash in an upcoming
port of U-Boot to the Broadcom Northstar (BCM4709, BCM53xx)
architecture.
A basic test and documentation is added as well. The test must
be run on a target with NAND flash support and at least one
resident SEAMA image in flash.
