Masahisa Kojima c44b6be62e efi: Add tee-based EFI variable driver
When the flash is not owned by the non-secure world, accessing the EFI
variables is straight-forward and done via EFI Runtime Variable
Services.  In this case, critical variables for system integrity and
security are normally stored in the dedicated secure storage and can
only be manipulated directly from the secure world.

Usually, small embedded devices don't have the special dedicated secure
storage. The eMMC device with an RPMB partition is becoming more common,
and we can use this RPMB partition to store the EFI Variables.

The eMMC device is typically owned by the non-secure world (Linux in our
case). There is an existing solution utilizing eMMC RPMB partition for
EFI Variables, it is implemented by interacting with TEE (OP-TEE in this
case), StandaloneMM (as EFI Variable Service Pseudo TA), eMMC driver and
tee-supplicant. The last piece is the tee-based variable access driver
to interact with TEE and StandaloneMM.

So let's add the kernel functions needed.

This feature is implemented as a kernel module.  StMM PTA has
TA_FLAG_DEVICE_ENUM_SUPP flag when registered to OP-TEE so that this
tee_stmm_efi module is probed after tee-supplicant starts, since
"SetVariable" EFI Runtime Variable Service requires to interact with
tee-supplicant.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
