[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/7] ARM: add assembly routine to switch to non-secure state

While actually switching to non-secure state is one thing, the
more important part of this process is to make sure that we still
have full access to the interrupt controller (GIC).
The GIC is fully aware of secure vs. non-secure state, some
registers are banked, others may be configured to be accessible from
secure state only.
To be as generic as possible, we get the GIC memory mapped address
based on the PERIPHBASE value in the CBAR register. Since this
register is not architecturally defined, we check the MIDR before to
be from an A15 or A7.
For CPUs not having the CBAR or boards with wrong information herein
we allow providing the base address as a configuration variable.

With the GIC accessible, we:
a) allow private interrupts to be delivered to the core
   (GICD_IGROUPR0 = 0xFFFFFFFF)
b) enable the CPU interface (GICC_CTLR[0] = 1)
c) set the priority filter to allow non-secure interrupts
   (GICC_PMR = 0xFF)

After having switched to non-secure state, we also enable the
non-secure GIC CPU interface, since this register is banked.

Also we allow access to all coprocessor interfaces from non-secure
state by writing the appropriate bits in the NSACR register.

Since we need to call this routine also directly from the smp_pen
later (where we don't have any stack), we can only use caller saved
registers r0-r3 and r12 to not disturb the compiler.
