Vincent Donnefort d66e50beb9 KVM: arm64: FFA: Release hyp rx buffer
According to the FF-A spec (Buffer states and ownership), after a
producer has written into a buffer, it is "full" and now owned by the
consumer. The producer won't be able to use that buffer, until the
consumer hands it over with an invocation such as RX_RELEASE.

It is clear in the following paragraph (Transfer of buffer ownership),
that MEM_RETRIEVE_RESP is transferring the ownership from producer (in
our case SPM) to consumer (hypervisor). RX_RELEASE is therefore
mandatory here.

It is less clear though what is happening with MEM_FRAG_TX. But this
invocation, as a response to MEM_FRAG_RX writes into the same hypervisor
RX buffer (see paragraph "Transmission of transaction descriptor in
fragments"). Also this is matching the TF-A implementation where the RX
buffer is marked "full" during a MEM_FRAG_RX.

Release the RX hypervisor buffer in those two cases. This will unblock
later invocations using this buffer which would otherwise fail.
(RETRIEVE_REQ, MEM_FRAG_RX and PARTITION_INFO_GET).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
