Documentation: Destage TEE subsystem documentation
Add a separate documentation directory for TEE subsystem since it is a standalone subsystem which already offers devices consumed by multiple different subsystem drivers. Split overall TEE subsystem documentation modularly where: - The userspace API has been moved to Documentation/userspace-api/tee.rst. - The driver API has been moved to Documentation/driver-api/tee.rst. - The first module covers the overview of TEE subsystem. - The further modules are dedicated to different TEE implementations like: - OP-TEE - AMD-TEE - and so on for future TEE implementation support.

+===================================
+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)
+===================================
+
+This document describes the TEE subsystem in Linux.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+A TEE is a trusted OS running in some secure environment, for example,
+TrustZone on ARM CPUs, or a separate secure co-processor etc. A TEE driver
+handles the details needed to communicate with the TEE.
+
+This subsystem deals with:
+
+- Registration of TEE drivers
+
+- Managing shared memory between Linux and the TEE
+
+- Providing a generic API to the TEE
