f16a48fec9 arm_ffa: introduce armffa 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.

33ebcb4681 bootstd: Support automatically setting Linux parameters
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.

Also we sometimes use syslinux, but it is better to use the same term in
all cases.
