[PATCH v9 7/7] coco: guest: arm64: Replace dummy CCA device with sysfs ABI

"Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.linux-coco,org.infradead.lists.linux-arm-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
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.
