Had another look at this. This seems fine if I just change
EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE -> EFI OUT_OF_RESOURCES because OP-TEE is only
using these errors from FFA. Eventually the OP-TEE code that launches
StMM today, will move to FFA and become a separate SP, so that will
naturally be handled once that's done. I don't see a point of adding
unused error cases.

[SAMI] Referring to the FFA specification, DEN0077A, v1.0, section 10.2 FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ and Table 10.8: FFA_ERROR encoding, I think the 
error codes being handled above would be returned in SvcArgs.Arg2. 
The message flow would be as follows:
    - Caller sends FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ to the target endpoint.
    - if the message does not reach the target endpoint, an error code from Table 10.8 may be returned in w2 (i.e. SvcArgs.Arg2)
    - If the message reaches the target endpoint, then callee shall invoke one of the following interfaces:
	* FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_RESP
	* FFA_INTERRUPT
	* FFA_SUCCESS
    This would mean that if the callee responds with FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_RESP, the callee returned error/status code shall be in w/x3-w/x7 (which I think in this case may be in SvcArgs.Arg3).
