Add provision to extend CPU operations at more levels
...
Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle
power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to
power down individual cores and clusters.
This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater
for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example,
future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering
down individually.
This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for
registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:
- Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level
required.
- CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no
reset function.
- CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory
handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.
All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework
without needing any functional changes within.
Also update firmware design guide.
