/*
 * This API implements a lightweight parameter passing mechanism that can be
 * used to pass SoC Firmware configuration data from BL2 to BL31 by platforms or
 * configurations that do not want to depend on libfdt. It is structured as a
 * singly-linked list of parameter structures that all share the same common
 * header but may have different (and differently-sized) structure bodies after
 * that. The header contains a type field to indicate the parameter type (which
 * is used to infer the structure length and how to interpret its contents) and
 * a next pointer which contains the absolute physical address of the next
 * parameter structure. The next pointer in the last structure block is set to
 * NULL. The picture below shows how the parameters are kept in memory.
 *
 * head of list  ---> +----------------+ --+
 *                    |      type      |   |
 *                    +----------------+   |--> struct bl_aux_param
 *               +----|      next      |   |
 *               |    +----------------+ --+
 *               |    | parameter data |
 *               |    +----------------+

 *               +--> +----------------+ --+
 *                    |      type      |   |
 *                    +----------------+   |--> struct bl_aux_param
 *           NULL <---|      next      |   |

 *                    | parameter data |
 *                    +----------------+
 *
 * Note: The SCTLR_EL3.A bit (Alignment fault check enable) is set in TF-A, so
 * BL2 must ensure that each parameter struct starts on a 64-bit aligned address
 * to avoid alignment faults. Parameters may be allocated in any address range
 * accessible at the time of BL31 handoff (e.g. SRAM, DRAM, SoC-internal scratch
 * registers, etc.), in particular address ranges that may not be mapped in
 * BL31's page tables, so the parameter list must be parsed before the MMU is
 * enabled and any information that is required at a later point should be
 * deep-copied out into BL31-internal data structures.
