Manish V Badarkhe a2a5a94569 fix(driver/auth): avoid NV counter upgrade without certificate validation
Platform NV counter get updated (if cert NV counter > plat NV counter)
before authenticating the certificate if the platform specifies NV
counter method before signature authentication in its CoT, and this
provides an opportunity for a tempered certificate to upgrade the
platform NV counter. This is theoretical issue, as in practice none
of the standard CoT (TBBR, dualroot) or upstream platforms ones (NXP)
exercised this issue.

To fix this issue, modified the auth_nvctr method to do only NV
counter check, and flags if the NV counter upgrade is needed or not.
Then ensured that the platform NV counter gets upgraded with the NV
counter value from the certificate only after that certificate gets
authenticated.

This change is verified manually by modifying the CoT that specifies
certificate with:
1. NV counter authentication before signature authentication
   method
2. NV counter authentication method only

Trusted Firmware-A
==================

Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software
for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception
Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for
productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32
or AArch64 execution states.

TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:

-  `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
-  `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
-  `SMC Calling Convention`_
-  `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
-  `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_

The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and
software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.

In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A
with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.

Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
