This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
flag is by default set to '1'.
- ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
`PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0, and this is an
experimental feature.
PSA firmware update implementation has some limitations, such as BL2 is
not part of the protocol-updatable images, if BL2 needs to be updated, then
it should be done through another platform-defined mechanism, and it assumes
that the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.

Note that this API depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag which is
marked as experimental.
Function : plat_fwu_set_images_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
Argument : struct fwu_metadata *metadata
Return : void
This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled.
It provides a means to retrieve image specification (offset in
non-volatile storage and length) of active/updated images using the passed
FWU metadata, and update I/O policies of active/updated images using retrieved
image specification information.
Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on these
images rely on this function call.
In Arm platforms, this function is used to set an I/O policy of the FIP image,
container of all active/updated secure and non-secure images.
Function : plat_fwu_set_metadata_image_source() [when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT == 1]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
Argument : unsigned int image_id, uintptr_t *dev_handle,
uintptr_t *image_spec
Return : int
This function is mandatory when PSA_FWU_SUPPORT is enabled. It is
responsible for setting up the platform I/O policy of the requested metadata
image (either FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID or BKUP_FWU_METADATA_IMAGE_ID) that will
be used to load this image from the platform's non-volatile storage.
FWU metadata can not be always stored as a raw image in non-volatile storage
to define its image specification (offset in non-volatile storage and length)
statically in I/O policy.
For example, the FWU metadata image is stored as a partition inside the GUID
partition table image. Its specification is defined in the partition table
that needs to be parsed dynamically.
This function provides a means to retrieve such dynamic information to set
the I/O policy of the FWU metadata image.
Further I/O layer operations such as I/O open, I/O read, etc. on FWU metadata
image relies on this function call.
It returns '0' on success, otherwise a negative error value on error.
Alongside, returns device handle and image specification from the I/O policy
of the requested FWU metadata image.
