[Buildroot] [PATCH for-master] boot/arm-trusted-firmware: ignore licencing check for user defined official version

[Romain Naour]

The commit [1] "licensing info is only valid for v1.4" fixed the legal-info
issues when a custom ATF tarball or a version from git is used.
But we need to ignore licencing for a used defined official ATF version.

Althougt the ATF version are licensed under BSD-3-Clause, the license
file can be updated between version (for example between v1.4 and v2.0).

Ignore the licencing check if the user provide a custom official version.

This can be reproduced by loading qemu_arm_vexpress_tz_defconfig followed by
make legal-info.

Applied to master, thanks.

I've switched to using positive logic, with the _LATEST _variable, which
makese the condition even more explicit, too:

    ifeq ($(BR2_TARGET_ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_LATEST_VERSION),y)
