ARM: bL_switcher: Add runtime control notifier
Some subsystems will need to respond synchronously to runtime enabling and disabling of the switcher. This patch adds a dedicated notifier interface to support such subsystems. Pre- and post- enable/disable notifications are sent to registered callbacks, allowing safe transition of non-b.L- transparent subsystems across these control transitions. Notifier callbacks may veto switcher (de)activation on pre notifications only. Post notifications won't revert the action. If enabling or disabling of the switcher fails after the pre-change notification has been sent, subsystems which have registered notifiers can be left in an inappropriate state. This patch sends a suitable post-change notification on failure, indicating that the old state has been reestablished. For example, a failed initialisation will result in the following sequence: BL_NOTIFY_PRE_ENABLE /* switcher initialisation fails */ BL_NOTIFY_POST_DISABLE It is the responsibility of notified subsystems to respond in an appropriate way.
