[PATCH v5 0/4] ARM SMC Calling Convention interface

Hi Jens,

Jens Wiklander [off-list ref] writes:

This patch set is based on the Generic TEE subsystem v6 patchset
(https://lwn.net/Articles/662495/) sent out a few weeks ago. By isolating
the ARM SMC Calling Convention patches that are useful for other purposes
than to support the Generic TEE subsystem some complexity is removed from
that patch set.

This patch set adds a common interface to do an SMC or HVC following ARM
SMC Calling Convention. The interface is implemented for both the arm and
arm64 architectures and updates the PSCI driver to use this interface
instead for firmware communication.

Build and boot tested on a variety of arm32 and arm64 platforms using
kernelci.org.  The previous THUMB2_KERNEL=y build failures are gone.

Tested-by: Kevin Hilman <redacted>

kernelci.org results:

Build: http://kernelci.org/build/arm-soc/kernel/v4.4-rc3-4-gccfbab1c1ebd/
Boot: http://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/arm-soc/kernel/v4.4-rc3-4-gccfbab1c1ebd/

(NOTE: the boot failures there appear to be lab-related issues, not related tot his patch.)
