Some boards are running with secure firmware running in TrustZone secure
world, which changes the way some things have to be initialized.

This patch adds an interface for platforms to specify available firmware
operations and call them.

A wrapper macro, call_firmware_op(), checks if the operation is provided
and calls it if so, otherwise returns 0.

By default no operations are provided.

This is a follow-up on the patch by Kyungmin Park:
[PATCH v5 1/2] ARM: Make a compile firmware conditionally
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/183607/focus=183988

Example of use:

In code using firmware ops:

	__raw_writel(virt_to_phys(exynos4_secondary_startup),
		CPU1_BOOT_REG);

	/* Call Exynos specific smc call */
	do_firmware_op(cpu_boot, cpu);

	gic_raise_softirq(cpumask_of(cpu), 1);

In board-/platform-specific code:

	static int platformX_do_idle(void)
	{
		/* tell platformX firmware to enter idle */
	        return 0;
	}

	static void platformX_cpu_boot(int i)
	{
		/* tell platformX firmware to boot CPU i */
	}

	static const struct firmware_ops platformX_firmware_ops __initdata = {
		.do_idle	= exynos_do_idle,
		.cpu_boot	= exynos_cpu_boot,
		/* cpu_boot_reg not available on platformX */
	};

	static void __init board_init_early(void)
	{
	        register_firmware_ops(&platformX_firmware_ops);
	}

I think this will cause sparse warnings for call_firmware_op(cpu_boot_reg)
if there are no ops defined, since the '0' isn't annotated as __iomem. And
you can't annotate it since the other function pointers don't need it.

I think you might be better off with stub functions as fallbacks instead of
allowing and checking for NULL here.
do you mean like this?

#Ifdef CONFIG_ARM_FIRMWARE
#define call_firmware_op(op, ...) ((firmware_ops->op) ?
firmware_ops->op(__VA_ARGS__) : 0)
#else
#define call_firmware_op(op, ...) do { } while (0)
#endif

No problem to modify it.
To get the types and return values right you still need to do something
like:

#define call_firmware_op(op, ...) (firmware_ops->op(__VA_ARGS))

And then, in firmware.c:

static int default_do_idle(void)
{
	return 0;
}

static default_cpu_boot(int cpu)
{
	return;
}

static void __iomem *default_cpu_boot_reg(int cpu)
{
	return (void __iomem *)0;
}

static const struct firmware_ops default_firmware_ops = {
	.do_idle = default_do_idle,
	.cpu_boot = default_cpu_boot,
	.cpu_boot_reg = default_cpu_boot_reg,
}

const struct firmware_ops *firmware_ops = &default_firmware_ops;
