I think it's a good idea to have smccc_get_arg(unsigned char index).
However, it will cause more code changes because the following functions
have been used. Anyway, I think it's still worthy to pass @index to
differentiate the argument index. I will change it accordingly in
next respin.

    smccc_get_arg1()
    smccc_get_arg2()
    smccc_get_arg3()

Thanks,
Gavin
