tegra: mark BPMP driver as little-endian only

The BPMP firmware driver never worked on big-endian kernels, and
cannot easily be made portable. Add a dependency to make this clear
in case anyone ever wants to try a big-endian kernel on this hardware.

firmware: tegra: Add BPMP support

The Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP) is a co-processor found
on Tegra SoCs. It is designed to handle the early stages of the boot
process and offload power management tasks (such as clocks, resets,
powergates, ...) as well as system control services.

Compared to the ARM SCPI, the services provided by BPMP are message-
based rather than method-based. The BPMP firmware driver provides the
services to transmit data to and receive data from the BPMP. Users can
also register a Message ReQuest (MRQ), for which a service routine will
be run when a corresponding event is received from the firmware.

A set of messages, called the BPMP ABI, are specified for a number of
different services provided by the BPMP (such as clocks or resets).

firmware: tegra: Add IVC library

The Inter-VM communication (IVC) is a communication protocol which is
designed for interprocessor communication (IPC) or the communication
between the hypervisor and the virtual machine with a guest OS.

Message channels are used to communicate between processors. They are
backed by DRAM or SRAM, so care must be taken to maintain coherence of
data.

The IVC library maintains memory-based descriptors for the transmission
and reception channels as well as the data coherence of the counter and
payload. Clients, such as the driver for the BPMP firmware, can use the
library to exchange messages with remote processors.
