There are a number of new changes at the ABI files that cause them to produce warnings when generating ABI output. Fix them.

platform/mellanox: fix the mlx-bootctl sysfs

2019-12-20T17:00:50Z

This is a follow-up commit for the sysfs attributes to change from DRIVER_ATTR to DEVICE_ATTR according to some initial comments. In such case, it's better to point the sysfs path to the device itself instead of the driver. The ABI document is also updated.

platform/mellanox: Add bootctl driver for Mellanox BlueField Soc

2019-10-15T07:55:10Z

This commit adds the bootctl platform driver for Mellanox BlueField Soc, which queries secure state and controls the eMMC boot partition swapping by sending SMC calls to ATF running at EL3. Below are the sequences of typical use case. 1. User requests boot partition swapping, which could be on-demand or during boot-image upgrade via UEFI capsule; 2. This bootctl driver handles the request and sends SMC call to ATF. ATF programs register BREADCRUMB0 which has value preserved during warm reset. It also programs eMMC to swap the boot partition; 3. After software reset (rebooting), ATF BL1 (BootRom) checks register BREADCRUMB0 and enable watchdog if configured; 4. If booting fails, the watchdog timer will trigger rebooting. In such case, ATF Boot ROM will switch the boot partition back to the previous one. This is a robust feature and used to prevent failure during boot partition upgrade.
