Jacky Bai 179f82a2c6 plat: imx8m: Add the basic support for imx8mm
The i.MX8M Mini is new SOC of the i.MX8M family. it is
focused on delivering the latest and greatest video and
audio experience combining state-of-the-art media-specific
features with high-performance processing while optimized
for lowest power consumption. The i.MX 8M Mini Media Applications
Processor is  14nm FinFET product of the growing i.MX8M family
targeting the consumer & industrial market. It is built in 14LPP
to achieve both high performance and low power consumption
and relies on a powerful fully coherent core complex based on
a quad Cortex-A53 cluster with video and graphics accelerators

this patch add the basic support for i.MX8MM.

Description
===========
The i.MX 8M family of applications processors based on Arm Corte-A53 and Cortex-M4
cores provide high-performance computing, power efficiency, enhanced system
reliability and embedded security needed to drive the growth of fast-growing
edge node computing, streaming multimedia, and machine learning applications.
Boot Sequence
=============
Bootrom --> SPL --> BL31 --> BL33(u-boot) --> Linux kernel
How to build
============
Build Procedure
---------------
- Prepare AARCH64 toolchain.
- Build spl and u-boot firstly, and get binary images: u-boot-spl.bin,
u-boot-nodtb.bin and dtb for the target board.
- Build TF-A
Build bl31:
.. code:: shell
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make PLAT=<Target_SoC> bl31
Target_SoC should be "imx8mq" for i.MX8MQ SoC.
Target_SoC should be "imx8mm" for i.MX8MM SoC.
Deploy TF-A Images
-----------------
TF-A binary(bl31.bin), u-boot-spl.bin u-boot-nodtb.bin and dtb are combined
together to generate a binary file called flash.bin, the imx-mkimage tool is
used to generate flash.bin, and flash.bin needs to be flashed into SD card
with certain offset for BOOT ROM. the u-boot and imx-mkimage will be upstreamed
soon, this doc will be updated once they are ready, and the link will be posted.
