ARM Trusted Firmware - version <next>
=====================================
Detailed changes since last release
-----------------------------------
* Support for Foundation FVP v5.2 added.
The documented UEFI configuration disables some devices that are unavailable
in the Foundation FVP, including MMC and CLCD. The resultant UEFI binary can
be used on the AEMv8 and Cortex-A57-A53 FVPs, as well as the Foundation FVP.
