This is the second iteration of this idea. The first used socinfo custom attribute groups, but Arnd suggested we make this something standardised under /sys/firmware instead:

Some ARM systems have a firmware that provides a hardware root of trust. It's useful for the system to know how this root of trust has been configured, so provide a standardised interface that expose this information to userspace.
This is implemented as a sysfs attribute group registration to be called at boot, with the properties described in the ABI document.
Alternatively we could put the properties in the driver core, and have platforms register callbacks for each supported property. This would make it harder to insert non-standard properties, with the trade off of more code to selectively show supported properties.
An user of the properties is provided in the second patch.
