This patch moves the various assembly console drivers
into `aarch64` architecture specific folder. Stub files,
which include files from new location, are retained at the
original location for platform compatibility reasons.

The PL011 initialization function disables the UART, flushes the FIFO
and waits for the current character to be transmitted before applying
the configuration and enabling the UART. This waiting might result in
a deadlock if the FIFO is disabled while another CPU is printing a
message since the flush of FIFO will never finish.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the flush operation and the
loop for last character completion from the initialization function.
The UART is disabled, configured and enabled again.

The PL011 TRM (ARM DDI 0183G) specifies that the UART must be
disabled before any of the control registers are programmed. The
PL011 driver included in TF does not disable the UART, so the
initialization in BL2 and BL31 is violating this requirement
(and potentially in BL1 if the UART is enabled after reset).
This patch modifies the initialization function in the PL011
console driver to disable the UART before programming the
control registers.
Register clobber list and documentation updated.

The Server Base System Architecture document (ARM-DEN-0029)
specifies a generic UART device. The programmer's view of this
generic UART is a subset of the ARM PL011 UART. However, the
current PL011 driver in Trusted Firmware uses some features
that are outside the generic UART specification.
This patch modifies the PL011 driver to exclude features outside
the SBSA generic UART specification by setting the boolean build
option 'PL011_GENERIC_UART=1'. Default value is 0 (use full
PL011 features).
User guide updated.

This patch changes the type of the base address parameter in the
ARM device driver APIs to uintptr_t (GIC, CCI, TZC400, PL011). The
uintptr_t type allows coverage of the whole memory space and to
perform arithmetic operations on the addresses. ARM platform code
has also been updated to use uintptr_t as GIC base address in the
configuration.

Separate out the common console functionality in
`drivers/arm/pl011/pl011_console.S` into a new source file
`drivers/console/console.S`. The former includes the latter to
provide backwards compatibility for platform make files.
Also add a skeleton console implementation for platforms that do not
want to use PL011.

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.
To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.
The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

This patch adds baud rate and UART clock frequency as parameters
to the pl011 driver api console_init(). This allows each platform
to specify UART clock and baud rate according to their specific
hardware implementation.

This patch replaces the pl011 console family of functions
with their equivalents defined in assembly. The baud rate is
defined by the PL011_BAUDRATE macro and IBRD and FBRD values
for pl011 are computed statically. This patch will enable
us to invoke the console functions without the C Runtime Stack.
