The patchset adds support for the FWU Multi Bank Update[1]
feature. Certain aspects of the Dependable Boot[2] specification have
also been implemented.

The FWU multi bank update feature is used for supporting multiple
sets(also called banks) of firmware image(s), allowing the platform to
boot from a different bank, in case it fails to boot from the active
bank. This functionality is supported by keeping the relevant
information in a structure called metadata, which provides information
on the images. Among other parameters, the metadata structure contains
information on the currect active bank that is being used to boot
image(s).

Functionality is being added to work with the UEFI capsule driver in
u-boot. The metadata is read to gather information on the update bank,
which is the bank to which the firmware images would be flashed to. On
a successful completion of the update of all components, the active
bank field in the metadata is updated, to reflect the bank from which
the platform will boot on the subsequent boots.

Currently, the feature is being enabled on the STM32MP157C-DK2 and
Synquacer boards. The DK2 board boots a FIP image from a uSD card
partitioned with the GPT partioning scheme, while the Synquacer board
boots a FIP image from a MTD partitioned SPI NOR flash device.

This feature also requires changes in a previous stage of
bootloader, which parses the metadata and selects the bank to boot the
image(s) from. Support has being added in tf-a(BL2 stage) for the
STM32MP157C-DK2 board to boot the active bank images. These changes 
have been merged to the upstream tf-a repository.

The patch for adding a python test for the feature has been developed,
and was sent in the version 5 of the patches[3]. However, the test
script depends on adding support for the feature on MTD SPI NOR
devices, and that is being done as part of the Synquacer
patches. Hence these set of patches do not have the test script for
the feature. That will be added through the patches for adding support
for the feauture on Synquacer platform.

Changes since V8:
* Declare the metadata struct on the stack rather than heap
* Move the API's to fwu.c and only keep the DM ops in the uclass
  driver
* Fix return codes as suggested by Simon
* Change log_err to log_debug as suggested by Simon
* Remove the __packed attribute on the metadata structures as
  suggested by Simon
* Add comments to the API functions
* Rename fwu_mdata_gpt_blk.c as gpt_blk.c as suggested by Simon
* Use natural integer types instead of specific width integers as
  suggested by Simon
* Fix return codes as suggested by Simon
* Code cleanup of some superfluous error checks, like for
  dev_get_uclass_plat() function
* Use blk_get_from_parent() for getting the parent of the block device
  containing the FWU metadata
* Use STM32MP_FIP_IMAGE_GUID for the FIP GUID value as suggested by
  Yann
* Update the logic to get the update index as suggested by Jassi
* Call fwu_boottime_checks through the event interface
* Move addition of the FWU Kconfig symbols and Makefile to this patch
* Fixed spelling mistake in the commit message
