The plat_helpers.S file was almost identical between its RPi3 and RPi4
versions. Unify the two files, moving it into the common/ directory.
This adds a plat_rpi_get_model() function, which can be used to trigger
RPi4 specific action, detected at runtime. We use that to do the RPi4
specific L2 cache initialisation.

In the wake of the upcoming unification of the console setup code
between RPi3 and RPi4, extend the "clock-less" setup scheme to the
RPi3. This avoid programming any clocks or baud rate registers,
which makes the port more robust against GPU firmware changes.

So far we have seen two different clock setups for the Raspberry Pi 4
board, with the VPU clock divider being different. This was handled by
reading the divider register and adjusting the base clock rate
accordingly.
Recently a new GPU firmware version appeared that changed the clock rate
*again*, though this time at a higher level, so the VPU rate (and the
apparent PLLC parent clock) did not seem to change, judging by reading
the clock registers.
So rather than playing cat and mouse with the GPU firmware or going
further down the rabbit hole of exploring the whole clock tree, let's
just skip the baud rate programming altogether. This works because the
GPU firmware actually sets up and programs the debug UART already, so
we can just use it.
Pass 0 as the base clock rate to let the console driver skip the setup,
also remove the no longer needed clock code.

The Raspberry Pi GPU firmware checks for a magic value at offset 240
(0xf0) of the armstub8.bin image it loads. If that value matches,
it writes the kernel load address and the DTB address into subsequent
memory locations.
We can use these addresses to avoid hardcoding these values into the BL31
image, to make it more flexible and a drop-in replacement for the
official armstub8.bin.
Reserving just 16 bytes at offset 240 of the final image file is not easily
possible, though, as this location is in the middle of the generic BL31
entry point code.
However we can prepend an extra section before the actual BL31 image, to
contain the magic and addresses. This needs to be 4KB, because the
actual BL31 entry point needs to be page aligned.
Use the platform linker script hook that the generic code provides, to
add an almost empty 4KB code block before the entry point code. The very
first word contains a branch instruction to jump over this page, into
the actual entry code.
This also gives us plenty of room for the SMP pens later.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is a single board computer with four Cortex-A72
cores. From a TF-A perspective it is quite similar to the Raspberry Pi
3, although it comes with more memory (up to 4GB) and has a GIC.
This initial port though differs quite a lot from the existing rpi3
platform port, mainly due to taking a much simpler and more robust
approach to loading the non-secure payload:
The GPU firmware of the SoC, which is responsible for initial platform
setup (including DRAM initialisation), already loads the kernel, device
tree and the "armstub" into DRAM. We take advantage of this, by placing
just a BL31 component into the armstub8.bin component, which will be
executed first, in AArch64 EL3.
The non-secure payload can be a kernel or a boot loader (U-Boot or
EDK-2), disguised as the "kernel" image and loaded by the GPU firmware.
So this is just a BL31-only port, which directly drops into EL2
and executes whatever has been loaded as the "kernel" image, handing
over the DTB address in x0.
