2021-10-18	firmware: arm_ffa: Add support for MEM_LEND	Marc Bonnici	1	-0/+2
	As part of the FF-A spec, an endpoint is allowed to transfer access of, or lend, a memory region to one or more borrowers. Extend the existing memory sharing implementation to support FF-A MEM_LEND functionality and expose this to other kernel drivers. Note that upon a successful MEM_LEND request the caller must ensure that the memory region specified is not accessed until a successful MEM_RECALIM call has been made. On systems with a hypervisor present this will been enforced, however on systems without a hypervisor the responsibility falls to the calling kernel driver to prevent access.

2021-05-26	firmware: arm_ffa: Add support for MEM_* interfaces	Sudeep Holla	1	-0/+139
	Most of the MEM_* APIs share the same parameters, so they can be generalised. Currently only MEM_SHARE is implemented and the user space interface for that is not added yet.

2021-05-26	firmware: arm_ffa: Setup in-kernel users of FFA partitions	Sudeep Holla	1	-1/+38
	Parse the FFA nodes from the device-tree and register all the partitions whose services will be used in the kernel. In order to also enable in-kernel users of FFA interface, let us add simple set of operations for such devices. The in-kernel users are registered without the character device interface.

2021-05-26	firmware: arm_ffa: Add initial FFA bus support for device enumeration	Sudeep Holla	1	-0/+91
	The Arm FF for Armv8-A specification has concept of endpoints or partitions. In the Normal world, a partition could be a VM when the Virtualization extension is enabled or the kernel itself. In order to handle multiple partitions, we can create a FFA device for each such partition on a dedicated FFA bus. Similarly, different drivers requiring FFA transport can be registered on the same bus. We can match the device and drivers using UUID. This is mostly for the in-kernel users with FFA drivers.
