This shouldn't rely on both.  It's either OP-TEE or FF-A

This separation is a bit problematic.  A user can configure bot OP-TEE and
FF-A. Those are not mutually exclusive,  but for the EFI
variables case they are.  We need a better way to isolate the compilation
choices.  Why don't we make ffa_bus_discover() return -1 if FF-A isn't
compiled in?

I prefer sizeof(*parts_info).  Same goes for all sizeof() calls.

if (!ret)
