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.

Changes v8:
* [Etienne Carriere] extended TA param description (missed one param)

Changes v7:
* [Etienne Carriere] extended TA param description, adding info about
  i2c xfer flags. Applied A-b and R-b tags
* [Jens Wiklander] applied R-b tag

Changes v6:
* [Etienne Carriere] fixed func return code handling
* [Etienne Carriere] tee_optee_ta_uuid passing a pointer instead of full
  struct
* [Etienne Carriere] pass additionally i2c control flags in tests
* Fixed mispelling in the comments

Changes v5:
* [Jens Wiklander] Addressed comment about optee_alloc_and_init_page_list():
  drop inline, proper return value and comment

Changes v4:
* [Simon Glass] Reduced amount ifdefs warnings and move to
  if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_*)) where possible
* Fixed pointer-sign warnings

Changes v3:
* [Simon Glass] Added RPC I2C test coverage

Changes v2:
* [Simon Glass] Adjusted the usage of DM internal api (dev_get_parent_platdata)
* [Simon Glass] Added additional comments to functions
* [Jens Wiklander] s/tmem/rmem/g
