Another note: right now this adds a config question for TEE support,
but the only actual TEE driver has a

        depends on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC

on it.

Until we get more TEE drivers, might I suggest that we perhaps make
the TEE config option have

        depends on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC || COMPILE_TEST

so that the generic tee code still gets the compile test coverage, but
we don't confuse people by asking about infrastructure that they can't
possibly use..

Hmm?
