The patchset adds support for the FWU Multi Bank Update[1]
feature. Certain aspects of the Dependable Boot[2] specification have
also been implemented.

The FWU multi bank update feature is used for supporting multiple
sets(also called banks) of firmware image(s), allowing the platform to
boot from a different bank, in case it fails to boot from the active
bank. This functionality is supported by keeping the relevant
information in a structure called metadata, which provides information
on the images. Among other parameters, the metadata structure contains
information on the currect active bank that is being used to boot
image(s).

Functionality is being added to work with the UEFI capsule driver in
u-boot. The metadata is read to gather information on the update bank,
which is the bank to which the firmware images would be flashed to. On
a successful completion of the update of all components, the active
bank field in the metadata is updated, to reflect the bank from which
the platform will boot on the subsequent boots.

Currently, the feature is being enabled on the STM32MP157C-DK2 and
Synquacer boards. The DK2 board boots a FIP image from a uSD card
partitioned with the GPT partioning scheme, while the Synquacer board
boots a FIP image from a MTD partitioned SPI NOR flash device.

This feature also requires changes in a previous stage of
bootloader, which parses the metadata and selects the bank to boot the
image(s) from. Support has being added in tf-a(BL2 stage) for the
STM32MP157C-DK2 board to boot the active bank images. These changes 
have been merged to the upstream tf-a repository.

The patch for adding a python test for the feature has been developed,
and was sent in the version 5 of the patches[3]. However, the test
script depends on adding support for the feature on MTD SPI NOR
devices, and that is being done as part of the Synquacer
patches. Hence these set of patches do not have the test script for
the feature. That will be added through the patches for adding support
for the feauture on Synquacer platform.

Changes since V10:
* s/fwu_update_active_index/fwu_set_active_index as per comment from
  Jassi
* Change the argument type of fwu_set_active_index() to uint from u32
  as per comment from Jassi
* s/mdata_check/check_mdata as per comment from Jassi
* Fix the typo in the function comment of fwu_mdata_check()
* Use array for storing the metadata partition numbers as suggested by
  Ilias
* Skip a couple of goto's in gpt_check_mdata_validity() as suggested
  by Ilias
* Have the FWU_MDATA_GPT_BLK config symbol depend on FWU_MDATA and BLK
* Remove the comment in fwu_gpt_mdata_check() as it is already
  mentioned in the corresponding API comment
* Remove the casting of boot_idx to a u32 as suggested by Etienne
* Remove the spurious newline addition in efi_setup.c
* Move the assignment of trial_state outside the if() as suggested by
  Jassi
* Move the computation of the image index to the FMP set_image
  function as suggested by Takahiro
* Use true and false booleans for fw_accept_os as suggested by Jassi
* Simplify the logic in efi_capsule_update_firmware() to check for the
  empty capsules before checking for fwu_update_checks_pass() as
  suggested by Jassi
* Address a couple of nits from Jassi
* Fix review comments suggested by Etienne
* Add a paragraph in the capsule update section to highlight the
  difference in ImageIndex correlation with DFU alt num with FWU feature
  enabled
