arm trusted firmware requires a bare metal toolchain for its build.
Add pre-built cross-compilation ARM-A bare metal toolchain for Arm Cortex-A
family processors to avoid the following build error.

make[3]: arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found

pre-built bate metal ARM GNU-A toolchain installs into the host file system folder
/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi.

Hi,

Could you please clarify why a separate toolchain is required to build
ATF for this platform ? Is there any specific requirements other than
this particular build error ?

Rockchip rk3399 has cortex-m0 and these changes are build during ATF.
and then environment should have arm32 cross toolchain to make it
build successfully.

I think, Sunil need to write something more on this requirement on
commit message.

Well, I mean that other ATF firmwares can be built with standard buildroot
toolchain. I guess this is the case for Rockchip ATF as well. You just need
to specify available toolchain using environment variable or something.
In the worst case, some patch modifing Makefiles in Rockchip ATF
source tree is needed.

Regards,
Sergey
