Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] coco: guest: arm64: Drop dummy RSI platform device stub

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)" <[email-masked]>

The SMCCC firmware driver now creates the `arm-smccc` platform device
and also creates the CCA auxiliary devices once the RSI ABI is
discovered. This makes the arch-specific arm64_create_dummy_rsi_dev()
helper redundant. Remove the arm-cca-dev platform device registration
and let the SMCCC probe manage the RSI device.

systemd match on platform:arm-cca-dev for confidential vm detection [1].
Losing the platform device registration can break that. Keeping this
removal in its own change makes it easy to revert if that regression
blocks the rollout.
