In this configuration, when the CPU resets to BL31 there are no parameters that
can be passed in registers by previous boot stages. Instead, the platform code
in BL31 needs to know, or be able to determine, the location of the BL32 (if
required) and BL33 images and provide this information in response to the
``bl31_plat_get_next_image_ep_info()`` function.
.. note::
Some platforms that configure ``RESET_TO_BL31`` might still be able to
receive parameters in registers depending on their actual boot sequence. On
those occasions, and in addition to ``RESET_TO_BL31``, these platforms should
set ``RESET_TO_BL31_WITH_PARAMS`` to avoid the input registers from being
zeroed before entering BL31.
Additionally, platform software is responsible for carrying out any security
initialisation, for example programming a TrustZone address space controller.
This might be done by the Trusted Boot Firmware or by platform code in BL31.
