This implements a library ArmVirtPL031FdtClientLib which is intended to
be incorporated into RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe via NULL library class
resolution. This allows us to make RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe depend on the
FDT client protocol, and discover the PL031 base address from the device tree
directly rather than relying on VirtFdtDxe to set the dynamic PCDs.
The NULL library class resolution approach to strictly order production and
consumption of dynamic PCDs is not generally safe in cases such as this one,
where the producer and the consumer of the PCD are both libraries. However,
since the PCD is produced in this library's constructor, and the consumer
library's constructor 'LibRtcInitialize' is not a 'true' constructor (it is
invoked explicitly by RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe), this case is guaranteed to
be safe after all.
