[Skiboot] [PATCH v2 0/9] Add Secure Variable Support

The previous implementation "Initial Skiboot Secure Variable Support"
tied the OPAL runtime service API too tightly to the variable processing
backend. Therefore, if the variable processing design had to be changed
or updated, so did the API. This patch set redesigns the previous set to
support a generic OPAL API, and pluggable drivers for persistent variable
storage and variable processing.

Platforms may support different storage hardware, therefore a platform
must be able to select the proper storage driver for persisting variables. 

Platforms may also select the backend used to manipulate secure variables.
The backend determines the format in which the variables are stored, and
how the variables are authenticated and updated. 

This patch set includes the base implementation to support secure
variables, and the updated OPAL runtime service API. This set also
includes draft implementations for a pnor-based storage driver, and an
edk2-derived backend driver. This backend driver depends on mbedtls-based
crypto support, which will be in a separate forthcoming patch set. The
draft implementation of the backend driver has the crypto-dependent code
commented out for sake of compilation.

Changes in V2:
 - ibm,secureboot compatible is set to -v3
 - added secvar device tree node
 - removed opal_secvar_backend
 - added API and secvar DT node documentation
 - minor fixes/changes (see patch descriptions)

Claudio Carvalho (1):
