Adding r11 (fp) to the clobber list causes an error when using gcc and
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y:
arch/arm/firmware/trusted_foundations.c: In function âtf_generic_smcâ:
arch/arm/firmware/trusted_foundations.c:51:1: error: fp cannot be used
in asm here

Not sure what ABI Trusted Foundations follow.

[adding Stephen, Thierry and Dmitry]
Maybe someone more familiar with NVIDIA Tegra SoCs can help?

When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y fp gets saved anyway. So we could add r11 to
clobber list ifndef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER...
