I followed the instructions, but encountering some issues. First of all, the
recommended TF-RMM (branch: cca/v4) fails to be built. After switching to the
latest upstream TF-RMM, it fails to be initialized.

Note: the combination of the upstream TF-A + upstream TF-RMM + upstream EDK2
worked fine for the 'fvp' emulator.
