Optionally allow U-Boot to load a configuration object into the Power
Management Unit (PMU) firmware on Xilinx ZynqMP.

The configuration object is required by the PMU FW to enable most SoC
peripherals. So far the only way to boot using U-Boot SPL was to hard-code
the configuration object in the PMU firmware. Allow a different boot
process, where the PMU FW is equal for any ZynqMP chip and its
configuration is passed at runtime by U-Boot SPL.

All the code for Inter-processor communication with the PMU is isolated in
a new file (pmu_ipc.c). The code is inspired by the same feature as
implemented in the Xilinx First Stage Bootloader (FSBL) and Arm Trusted
Firmware:

 * https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/blob/fb647e6b4c00f5154eba52a88b948195b6f1dc2b/lib/sw_apps/zynqmp_fsbl/src/xfsbl_misc_drivers.c#L295
 * https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/c48d02bade88b07fa7f43aa44e5217f68e5d047f/plat/xilinx/zynqmp/pm_service/pm_api_sys.c#L357

SPL logs on the console before loading the configuration object:

  U-Boot SPL 2019.07-rc1-00511-gaec224515c87 (May 15 2019 - 08:43:41 +0200)
  Loading PMUFW cfg obj (2008 bytes)
  EL Level:	EL3
  ...

Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>

Changes v3 -> v4:
 - fix pointer-to-integer typecast warning
 - fix integer-to-pointer typecast warning with proper typecasting and
   add parentheses to avoid ambiguity
 - fix kerneldoc syntax (Michal)
 - remove empty line in Kconfig (Michal)
 - remove #ifdefs around function declaration (Michal)
 - remove unneeded file copy (Michal)
 - move externs to a new .h file (Michal)
 - avoid passing the extra -DZYNQMP_LOAD_PM_CFG_OBJ (using sizeof(), it
   looks a bit of a hack but seems to be working)
 - rename CONFIG_ZYNQMP_LOAD_PM_CFG_OBJ_FILE to
   CONFIG_ZYNQMP_SPL_PM_CFG_OBJ_FILE and clarify in menuconfig that it's
   SPL-related

Changes RFC v2 -> v3:
 - don't compile pm_cfg_obj.c from source, load it from a binary file
   (suggested by Michal)
 - move IPC code to arch/arm/mach-zynqmp/ and sys_proto.h (Michal)

Changes RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
 - Load the cfg_obj in SPL, not U-Boot proper: this required a complete
   reimplementation since we cannot rely on ATF now
 - Update and refine the Kconfig option help

This is good step forward that's why even some stuff can be done better
I have not a problem with applying this.
