In preparation to make memory operations accessible for a non
ffa_driver/device, it is better to split the ffa_ops into different
categories of operations: info, message and memory. The info and memory
are ffa_device independent and can be used without any associated
ffa_device from a non ffa_driver.

However, we don't export these info and memory APIs yet without the user.
The first users of these APIs can export them.

FF-A v1.1 adds a flag in the partition properties to indicate if the
partition runs in the AArch32 or AArch64 execution state. Use the same
to set-up the 32-bit execution flag mode in the ffa_dev automatically
if the detected firmware version is above v1.0 and ignore any requests
to do the same from the ffa_driver.

FF-A v1.1 adds support to discovery the UUIDs of the partitions that was
missing in v1.0 and which the driver workarounds by using UUIDs supplied
by the ffa_drivers.

Add the v1.1 get_partition_info support and disable the workaround if

Except the message APIs, all other APIs are ffa_device independent and can
be used without any associated ffa_device from a non ffa_driver.

In order to reflect the same, just rename ffa_dev_ops as ffa_ops to
avoid any confusion or to keep it simple.

There is a requirement to make memory APIs independent of the ffa_device.
One of the use-case is to have a common memory driver that manages the
memory for all the ffa_devices. That common memory driver won't be a
ffa_driver or won't have any ffa_device associated with it. So having
these memory APIs accessible without a ffa_device is needed and should
be possible as most of these are handled by the partition manager(SPM
or hypervisor).

Drop the ffa_device argument to the memory APIs and make them ffa_device
independent.

The only user of this exported ffa_dev_ops_get() was OPTEE driver which
now uses ffa_dev-&gt;ops directly, there are no other users for this.

Also, since any ffa driver can use ffa_dev-&gt;ops directly, there will be
no need for ffa_dev_ops_get(), so just remove ffa_dev_ops_get().

<title>firmware: arm_ffa: Add pointer to the ffa_dev_ops in struct ffa_dev</title>

Currently ffa_dev_ops_get() is the way to fetch the ffa_dev_ops pointer.
It checks if the ffa_dev structure pointer is valid before returning the
ffa_dev_ops pointer.

Instead, the pointer can be made part of the ffa_dev structure and since
the core driver is incharge of creating ffa_device for each identified
partition, there is no need to check for the validity explicitly if the
pointer is embedded in the structure.

Add the pointer to the ffa_dev_ops in the ffa_dev structure itself and
initialise the same as part of creation of the device.

As part of the FF-A spec, an endpoint is allowed to transfer access of,
or lend, a memory region to one or more borrowers.

Extend the existing memory sharing implementation to support
FF-A MEM_LEND functionality and expose this to other kernel drivers.

Note that upon a successful MEM_LEND request the caller must ensure that
the memory region specified is not accessed until a successful
MEM_RECALIM call has been made. On systems with a hypervisor present
this will been enforced, however on systems without a hypervisor the
responsibility falls to the calling kernel driver to prevent access.
