[PATCH] stm32mp2: update register used by BL31 for boot parameter

Use the ARM64 kernel booting register settings, defined in Linux
documentation Documentation/arch/arm64/booting.rst:

 x0 = physical address of device tree blob (dtb) in system RAM.

so kernel can replace U-Boot in FIP without modification of BL31.

Use x0 for future TF-A version and keep x2 as fallback to be compatible
with previous version of TF-A BL31.
