meta-arm-systemready was intended to allow people writing BSPs to run
the SystemReady Architecture Compliance Suite[1] within the Yocto build
environment. However, whilst this seems like a good idea, there are
several problems:
- This layer only supports the IR band and v2 of the ACS. The ACS is now
at v3 and the bands altered, so there is no value in running obsolete
tests.
- Execution of the tests takes a long time, we have integration to run
the tests on a virtual fvp-base machine but execution takes many tens
of hours (our CI times out after 12, on a high-performance worker).
Running the tests in CI, and in particular inside BitBake, isn't
obviously the right thing to do.
- Execution on the tests on real hardware is not trivial, as testimage
has virtual targets as a primary usecase. It is unclear if anyone has
managed to use this layer on physical hardware.
Because of these issues, remove the layer. There are better integration
points for automated ACS testing, and this integration is obsolete.

Add the meta-arm-systemready layer. This provides the infrastructure to
load and run the Arm SystemReady IR ACS v2.0.0 prebuilt image and
analyze the results.
The recipes included are as follows:
1. arm-systemready-firmware: Enables the ARM_SYSTEMREADY_FIRMWARE machine
conf variable to be used to specify which firmware packages to deploy.
2. arm-systemready-ir-acs: Runs the Arm SystemReady IR ACS tests from
the pre-built images and checks the results adhere to the specification.
3. arm-systemready-linux-distros-[debian|opensuse]: Install the distro of
choice from CD/DVD image to target disk image.
