3bbfe98710 firmware: arm_ffa: Add initial Arm FFA driver support
This just add a basic driver that sets up the transport(e.g. SMCCC),
checks the FFA version implemented, get the partition ID for self and
sets up the Tx/Rx buffers for communication.

e781858488 firmware: arm_ffa: Add initial FFA bus support for device enumeration
The Arm FF for Armv8-A specification has concept of endpoints or
partitions. In the Normal world, a partition could be a VM when
the Virtualization extension is enabled or the kernel itself.

In order to handle multiple partitions, we can create a FFA device for
each such partition on a dedicated FFA bus. Similarly, different drivers
requiring FFA transport can be registered on the same bus. We can match
the device and drivers using UUID. This is mostly for the in-kernel
users with FFA drivers.
