The SMCCC firmware driver now creates the arm-smccc platform device and instantiates the CCA RSI auxiliary devices once the RSI ABI is discovered. The arm64-specific arm-cca-dev platform device stub is therefore no longer needed. However, userspace has used the arm-cca-dev platform device to detect Arm CCA Realm guests [1]. Removing it without a replacement would break that detection and would also leave userspace depending on kernel device-model details. Add /sys/firmware/cca/realm_guest as a stable, architecture-provided ABI for detecting whether the kernel is running as an Arm CCA Realm guest. The file returns 1 in Realm world and 0 otherwise, similar to the existing s390 /sys/firmware/uv/prot_virt_guest interface for protected virtualization guests. Remove the dummy arm-cca-dev registration now that userspace has a dedicated CCA Realm guest indicator, and document the new ABI in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-cca.
