Hi Simon,
> Adding support for Arm FF-A v1.0 (Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A) [A].
>
> FF-A describes interfaces (ABIs) that standardize communication
> between the Secure World and Normal World. These interfaces enable a pair of
> software sandboxes to communicate with each other. A sandbox aka partition could
> be a VM in the Normal or Secure world, an application in S-EL0, or a
> Trusted OS in S-EL1.
>
> FF-A is a discoverable bus and similar to architecture features.
> FF-A bus is discovered using ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES mechanism performed
> by the PSCI driver.
>
> => dm tree
>
> Class Index Probed Driver Name
> -----------------------------------------------------------
> ...
> firmware 0 [ + ] psci |-- psci
> ffa 0 [ ] arm_ffa | `-- arm_ffa
> ...
>
> Clients are able to probe then use the FF-A bus by calling the DM class
> searching APIs (e.g: uclass_get_device_by_name).
>
> This implementation of the specification provides support for Aarch64.
>
> The FF-A driver uses the SMC ABIs defined by the FF-A specification to:
>
> - Discover the presence of secure partitions (SPs) of interest
> - Access an SP's service through communication protocols
> e.g. EFI MM communication protocol
>
> The FF-A support provides the following features:
>
> - Being generic by design and can be used by any Arm 64-bit platform
> - A Uclass driver providing generic FF-A methods and driver operations
> - An Arm FF-A device driver
> - FF-A support can be compiled and used without EFI
> - Support for SMCCCv1.2 x0-x17 registers
> - Support for SMC32 calling convention
> - Support for 32-bit and 64-bit FF-A direct messaging
> - A new command called armffa is provided as an example of how to access the
> FF-A bus
> - Support for FF-A MM communication (compatible with EFI boot time)
> - Enabling FF-A and MM communication in Corstone1000 platform as a use case
> - A sandbox emulator for Arm FF-A
> - An FF-A sandbox device driver
> - Sandbox FF-A test cases
>
> For more details about the FF-A support please refer to [B] and refer to [C] for
> how to use the armffa command.
>
> Please find at [D] an example of the expected boot logs when enabling
> FF-A support for a platform. In this example the platform is
> Corstone1000. But it can be any Arm 64-bit platform.

> Changelog of the major changes:
> ===========================
>
> v11:
>
> * move ffa_try_discovery() from the uclass to the Arm FF-A driver
> * rename ffa_try_discovery() to arm_ffa_discover()
> * add arm_ prefix to the Arm FF-A driver functions
> * use U_BOOT_CMD_WITH_SUBCMDS for armffa command
> * store the sandbox emulator pointer in the FF-A device uc_priv (struct ffa_priv)
> * set the emulator as parent of the sandbox FF-A device
> * rename select_ffa_mm_comms() to select_mm_comms()
> * improve the logic of MM transport selection in mm_communicate()
> * use ut_asserteq_mem() in uuid_str_to_le_bin test case
> * address nits
A gentle reminder for reviewing the v11 changes please.
I already put you in CC :)
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,

> * move the generic FF-A methods to the Uclass
> * keep Arm specific methods in the Arm driver (arm-ffa.c renamed from core.c)
> * split the FF-A sandbox support into an emulator (ffa-emul-uclass.c) and a driver (sandbox_ffa.c)
> * use the FF-A driver Uclass operations by clients (armffa command, tests, MM comms)

> * address nits
>
> v9: [9]
>
> * integrate the FF-A bus discovery in the DM and use ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES for binding
> * align FF-A sandbox driver with FF-A discovery through DM

> v5: [5]
>
> * move changelogs in each commit to the changes section

> and logs
> * replacing panics with an error log
> * align sandbox driver and tests with the new FF-A driver interfaces
> and new way of error handling
