2024-04-02docs: sbsa: update specs, add dt noteMarcin Juszkiewicz
Hardware of sbsa-ref board is nowadays defined by both BSA and SBSA specifications. Then BBR defines firmware interface. Added note about DeviceTree data passed from QEMU to firmware. It is very minimal and provides only data we use in firmware. Added NUMA information to list of things reported by DeviceTree.

2023-07-04hw/arm/sbsa-ref: use XHCI to replace EHCIYuquan Wang
The current sbsa-ref cannot use EHCI controller which is only able to do 32-bit DMA, since sbsa-ref doesn't have RAM below 4GB. Hence, this uses XHCI to provide a usb controller with 64-bit DMA capablity instead of EHCI. We bump the platform version to 0.3 with this change. Although the hardware at the USB controller address changes, the firmware and Linux can both cope with this -- on an older non-XHCI-aware firmware/kernel setup the probe routine simply fails and the guest proceeds without any USB. (This isn't a loss of functionality, because the old USB controller never worked in the first place.) So we can call this a backwards-compatible change and only bump the minor version.

2023-06-23hw/arm/sbsa-ref: add ITS support in SBSA GICShashi Mallela
Create ITS as part of SBSA platform GIC initialization. GIC ITS information is in DeviceTree so TF-A can pass it to EDK2. Bumping platform version to 0.2 as this is important hardware change.

2021-08-02docs: Format literals correctlyPeter Maydell
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.
