+This function is invoked during Mbed TLS library initialisation to get a heap,
+by means of a starting address and a size. This heap will then be used
+internally by the Mbed TLS library. Hence, each BL stage that utilises Mbed TLS
+must be able to provide a heap to it.
+
+A helper function can be found in `drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_common.c` in
+which a heap is statically reserved during compile time inside every image
+(i.e. every BL stage) that utilises Mbed TLS. In this default implementation,
+the function simply returns the address and size of this "pre-allocated" heap.
+For a platform to use this default implementation, only a call to the helper
+from inside plat_get_mbedtls_heap() body is enough and nothing else is needed.
+
+However, by writting their own implementation, platforms have the potential to
+optimise memory usage. For example, on some Arm platforms, the Mbed TLS heap is
+shared between BL1 and BL2 stages and, thus, the necessary space is not reserved
+twice.
+
+On success the function should return 0 and a negative error code otherwise.
