[PATCHv3 0/4] OP-TEE I2C trampoline and associated tests

This patchset allows OP-TEE to communicate with I2C devices; a typical
use case would be servicing U-Boot requests that require underlying
cryptographic operations implemented by an I2C chip.

On a board fitted with the NXP SE050 I2C secure element, OP-TEE can
route some of the cryptographic operations it needs to that device (ie
RSA, ECC, CTR..).

Before the REE executes, OP-TEE would use its own I2C drivers to
communicate with the device on the bus; later on, once the REE is up,
accesses to the I2C bus should be coordinated with the REE to avoid
collisions. However instead of implementing such a synchronization
mechanism, this trampoline service permits OP-TEE to route those I2C
requests back to U-boot without then having to worry about collisions.

Lets suppose that U-Boot executes the trusted application Android
Verified Boot; when OP-TEE receives the request - and before executing
the application - it uses RSA to verify it. So on the back of the TA
function invocation, OP-TEE returns to U-boot with a sequence of RPC
calls requesting I2C transfers (check carefully the implementation in
do_call_with_arg(...) implemented in drivers/tee/optee/core.c and
notice the while loop)

When using sandbox testing, RPC is called directly to validate its
actual implementation; however as succintly described above, these
calls will always be originated in OP-TEE.
