feat(cpufeat): enable FEAT_CPA2 for EL3

FEAT_CPA2 enables checked pointer arithmetic, which in the event
of an arithmetic overflow in pointer generation will result in a
non-canonical pointer being generated and subsequent address fault.

Note that FEAT_CPA is a trivial implementation that exists in
some hardware purely so it can run CPA2-enabled instructions
without crashing but they don't actually have checked arithmetic,
so FEAT_CPA is not explicitly enabled in TF-A.

feat(arm): unify Linux kernel as BL33 handling

Streamlines and unifies how Arm platforms pass arguments to the Linux
kernel when it is loaded as BL33. It replaces the FVP specific macro
`FVP_HW_CONFIG_ADDR` with a common macro `ARM_HW_CONFIG_ADDR` for
accessing the device tree blob base address.

For FVP the DT address is set to use `ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE` if
provided, falling back to a default address otherwise.

This provides a consistent mechanism for Arm platforms to define and
override the DTB base address used during kernel handoff. It reduces the
chance of misconfiguration, and simplifies platform integration.

Implement support for FEAT_MPAM_PE_BW_CTRL, allowing lower

by disabling their traps to EL3.

When INIT_UNUSED_NS_EL2=1, configure MPAMBW2_EL2 in EL3 so
that MPAM_PE_BW_CTRL accesses from EL0/EL1 do not trap to EL2.

At this stage, PE-side MPAM bandwidth controls remain disabled
in EL3.

refactor(gicv3): clarify redistributor base address usage with USE_GIC_DRIVER=3

The GICv3 driver has 2 methods of discovering the redistributors:
a) via setting gicr_base - done at boot and assumes all GICR frames are
contiguous. This is the original method.

b) via gicv3_rdistif_probe() - called from platform code and requires
gicr_base == 0. It relaxes the requirement for frames to be
contiguous, like in a multichip configuration, and defers the
discovery to core bringup. This was introduced later.

Configurations possible with option a) are also possible with option b)
with only slightly different behaviour. USE_GIC_DRIVER=3 inherited
option b) from plat_gicv3_base.c and as such option a) is unusable.
However, it is unclear from code how this should be used. Clarify this
by requiring platforms initialise with gic_set_gicr_frames() and
adding relevant comments.

Also rename plat_arm_override_gicr_frames() to gic_set_gicr_frames() as
this is not plat arm specific and a part of the generic GIC driver.

feat(common): add support for kernel DT handoff convention

TF-A currently supports multiple DT handoff conventions:

1. Firmware Handoff (FH): DT passed in x0, with x1–x3 carrying
additional data.
2. Kernel-compatible handoff (ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33): DT passed in
x0, x1–x3 zeroed.
3. Legacy TF-A convention: DT passed in x1, with x0 used for MPIDR or
NT_FW_CONFIG.

After discussions with folks in EDK2 and U-Boot, it's clear that there
is no strict requirement for placing the DT in x1. Both projects support
x0 for Arm platforms. To standardize behavior and support firmware
handoff migration, this patch introduces USE_KERNEL_DT_CONVENTION as a
configurable build flag. When enabled, the DT will be passed in x0 for
BL33.

This aligns TF-A’s behavior with Linux boot expectations and simplifies
integration across bootloaders.

feat(psci): make pabandon support generic

Support for aborted powerdowns does not require much dedicated code.
Rather, it is largely a matter of orchestrating things to happen in the
right order.

The only exception to this are older secure world dispatchers, which
assume that a CPU_SUSPEND call will be terminal and therefore can
clobber context. This was patched over in common code and hidden behind
a flag. This patch moves this to the dispatchers themselves.

Dispatchers that don't register svc_suspend{_finish} are unaffected.
Those that do must save the NS context before clobbering it and
restoring in only in case of a pabandon. Due to this operation being
non-trivial, this patch makes the assumption that these dispatchers will
only be present on hardware that does not support pabandon and therefore
does not add any contexting for them. In case this assumption ever
changes, asserts are added that should alert us of this change.

feat(dsu): support power control and autonomous powerdown config

This patch allows platforms to enable certain DSU settings
to ensure memory retention and control over
cache power requests. We also move the driver out of css
into drivers/arm. Platforms can configure the
CLUSTERPWRCTLR and CLUSTERPWRDN registers [1] to improve
power efficiency.

These registers enable finer-grained control of
DSU power state transitions, including
powerdown and retention.

IMP_CLUSTERPWRCTLR_EL1 provides:
- Functional retention: Allows configuration of the
duration of inactivity before the DSU uses
CLUSTERPACTIVE to request functional retention.

- Cache power request: These bits are output on
CLUSTERPACTIVE[19:16] to indicate to the power controller
which cache portions must remain powered.

IMP_CLUSTERPWRDN_EL1 includes:
- Powerdown: Triggers full cluster powerdown, including
control logic.

- Memory retention: Requests memory retention mode,
keeping L3 RAM contents while powering off
the rest of the DSU.

The DSU-120 TRM [2] provides the full field definitions,
which are used as references in the `dsu_driver_data` structure.

feat(gicv5): add support for building with gicv5

The Generic Interrupt Controller v5 (GICv5) is the next generation of
Arm interrupt controllers. It is a clean slate design and has native
support for the latest Armv9 features. As such it is entirely backwards
incompatible with GICv3/v4.

This patch adds the necessary boilerplate to select a build with GICv5.
The GIC has always had two parts. BL31 deals directly with the CPU
interface while platform code is responsible for managing the IRI. In v5
this split is formalised and the CPU interface, FEAT_GCIE, may be
implemented on its own. So reflect this split in our code with
ENABLE_FEAT_GCIE which only affects BL31 and the GICv5 IRI lies in the
generic GIC driver.

No actual functionality yet.
