[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] boot/arm-trusted-firmware: use prebuilt BL33 images

[Sergey Matyukevich <geomatsi@gmail.com>]

Hello Etienne,

> 
> If BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_PREBUILT_BL33 is enabled, the
> buildroot configuration shall specify the BL33 binary image location:
> BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_BL33_IMAGE.

Could you please clarify why do you want to get rid of this dependency ?
IIUC so far all the arm64/atf boards supported by BR make use of U-Boot.
If you plan to use this feature for a board with any other type of
bootloader, then maybe it makes sense to add board config as well. In this
case other developers will be able at least build-test this particular
config swtich when testing their own ATF changes.
