Copying in the meta-arm list.

My immediate thought on this is “would the riscv machines actually use the same recipes” or is there enough forking and vendor branches happening that whilst in theory everyone is using OP-TEE, they’re not all using the _same_ optee.

I’m not against moving genuinely shared recipes somewhere common, but I do think verifying this will actually happen is important.

meta-arm tends to have several versions of optee at once for good reason… (currently one, but about to be two)
