The API is simple. The BSP or specific timer driver creates an
instance of timer_ops_t, fills in the timer specific data, then calls
timer_init(). The timer specific data includes a function pointer
to return the timer value and a clock multiplier/divider. The ratio
of the multiplier and the divider is the clock frequency in MHz.
After that, mdelay() or udelay() can be called to delay execution for
the specified time (milliseconds or microseconds, respectively).

The communication protocol used between the AP cores and the SCP
in CSS-based platforms like Juno has undergone a number of changes.
This patch makes the required modifications to the SCP Boot Protocol,
SCPI Protocol and MHU driver code in shared CSS platform code so that
the AP cores are still able to communicate with the SCP.
This patch focuses on the mandatory changes to make it work. The
design of this code needs to be improved but this will come in
a subsequent patch.
The main changes are:
- MHU communication protocol
- The command ID and payload size are no longer written into the
MHU registers directly. Instead, they are stored in the payload
area. The MHU registers are now used only as a doorbell to kick
off messages. Same goes for any command result, the AP has to
pick it up from the payload area.
- SCP Boot Protocol
- The BL3-0 image is now expected to embed a checksum. This
checksum must be passed to the SCP, which uses it to check the
integrity of the image it received.
- The BL3-0 image used to be transferred a block (4KB)
at a time. The SCP now supports receiving up to 128KB at a
time, which is more than the size of the BL3-0 image.
Therefore, the image is now sent in one go.
- The command IDs have changed.
- SCPI Protocol
- The size of the SCPI payload has been reduced down from 512
bytes to 256 bytes. This changes the base address of the
AP-to-SCP payload area.
- For commands that have a response, the response is the same SCPI
header that was sent, except for the size and the status, which
both must be updated appropriately. Success/Failure of a command
is determined by looking at the updated status code.
- Some command IDs have changed.
NOTE: THIS PATCH BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH FORMER VERSIONS OF THE SCP
FIRMWARE AND THUS REQUIRES AN UPDATE OF THIS BINARY. THE LATEST SCP
BINARY CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE ARM CONNECTED COMMUNITY WEBSITE.

This major change pulls out the common functionality from the
FVP and Juno platform ports into the following categories:
* (include/)plat/common. Common platform porting functionality that
typically may be used by all platforms.
* (include/)plat/arm/common. Common platform porting functionality
that may be used by all ARM standard platforms. This includes all
ARM development platforms like FVP and Juno but may also include
non-ARM-owned platforms.
* (include/)plat/arm/board/common. Common platform porting
functionality for ARM development platforms at the board
(off SoC) level.
* (include/)plat/arm/css/common. Common platform porting
functionality at the ARM Compute SubSystem (CSS) level. Juno
is an example of a CSS-based platform.
* (include/)plat/arm/soc/common. Common platform porting
functionality at the ARM SoC level, which is not already defined
at the ARM CSS level.
No guarantees are made about the backward compatibility of
functionality provided in (include/)plat/arm.
Also remove any unnecessary variation between the ARM development
platform ports, including:
* Unify the way BL2 passes `bl31_params_t` to BL3-1. Use the
Juno implementation, which copies the information from BL2 memory
instead of expecting it to persist in shared memory.
* Unify the TZC configuration. There is no need to add a region
for SCP in Juno; it's enough to simply not allow any access to
this reserved region. Also set region 0 to provide no access by
default instead of assuming this is the case.
* Unify the number of memory map regions required for ARM
development platforms, although the actual ranges mapped for each
platform may be different. For the FVP port, this reduces the
mapped peripheral address space.
These latter changes will only be observed when the platform ports
are migrated to use the new common platform code in subsequent
patches.

* Move TSP platform porting functions to new file:
include/bl32/tsp/platform_tsp.h.
* Create new TSP_IRQ_SEC_PHY_TIMER definition for use by the generic
TSP interrupt handling code, instead of depending on the FVP
specific definition IRQ_SEC_PHY_TIMER.
* Rename TSP platform porting functions from bl32_* to tsp_*, and
definitions from BL32_* to TSP_*.
* Update generic TSP code to use new platform porting function names
and definitions.
* Update FVP port accordingly and move all TSP source files to:
plat/fvp/tsp/.
* Update porting guide with above changes.
Note: THIS CHANGE REQUIRES ALL PLATFORM PORTS OF THE TSP TO
BE UPDATED

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.
