Note that this isn't just about TrustZone.  For example, firmware could
be implemented in a hypervisor.

Do you plan to have a registration interface for this?

I imagine that struct firmware_ops will get extended over time, so
it might contain many different function pointers.  Each board will
probably only provide a subset of these, by sparsely populating its
own struct firmware_ops (similarly to other existing registration
interfaces).

It may make sense to have a way to define default fallback actions for
ops not defined by a particular board.  If CONFIG_ARM_FIRMWARE=n, we
could use the fallbacks for everything.

Cheers
