Abdellatif El Khlifi e785db9277 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].

The Firmware Framework for Arm A-profile processors (FF-A)
describes interfaces (ABIs) that standardize communication
between the Secure World and Normal World leveraging TrustZone
technology.
The FF-A support in U-Boot is based on FF-A specification v1.0 and uses SMC32
calling convention.
FF-A specification:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0077/a/?lang=en
In U-Boot FF-A design, FF-A is considered as a discoverable bus.
FF-A bus is discovered using ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES mechanism performed
by the PSCI driver.
The Secure World is considered as one entity to communicate with
using the FF-A bus.
FF-A communication is handled by one device and one instance (the bus).
The FF-A support on U-Boot takes care of all the interactions between Normal
world and Secure World.
Generic FF-A methods are implemented in the Uclass (arm-ffa-uclass.c).
Arm specific methods are implemented in the Arm driver (arm-ffa.c).
For more details about the FF-A support, please refer to doc/arch/arm64.ffa.rst
