Merge patch series "Enable bloblist support on Vexpress64"

Harrison Mutai <[email protected]> says:

This series of patches enhances the vexpress64 platform by enabling bloblist
support. It also introduces support for CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE. This is
necessary to boot vexpress64 and other boards without manually specifying a
fixed address and size for the bloblist.

After this change, all the bloblist init modes are supported (i.e., fixed,
alloc, passage) and Vexpress64 boots with CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE.

+Bloblist Support
+----------------
+
+The ``vexpress_fvp_bloblist_defconfig`` configures U-Boot to be compiled for
+Vexpress64 with Bloblist as the primary method for information handoff between
+boot stages. U-Boot offers three methods to set up a bloblist: using a
+predefined bloblist at a specified address, dynamically allocating memory for a
+bloblist, or utilizing a standard passage-provided bloblist with automatic size
+detection.
+
+By default, ``vexpress_fvp_bloblist_defconfig`` uses the standard passage method
+(CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE) because TF-A provides a Transfer List in non-secure
+memory that U-Boot can utilise. This Bloblist, which is referred to as a Transfer List in
+TF-A, contains all necessary data for the handoff process, including DT and ACPI
+tables.
