ARM: firmware: Introduce suspend and resume operations
This patch extends the firmware_ops structure with two new callbacks: .suspend() and .resume(). The former is intended to ask the firmware to save all its volatile state and suspend the system, without returning back to the kernel in between. The latter is to be called early by very low level platform suspend code after waking up to restore low level hardware state, which can't be restored in non-secure mode. While at it, outdated version of the structure is removed from the documentation and replaced with a reference to the header file.

+The ops pointer must be non-NULL. More information about struct firmware_ops

There is a default, empty set of operations provided, so there is no need to
set anything if platform does not require firmware operations.
