The MediaTek driver is still in flux (e.g. still being reviewed in
Trusted Firmware here:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/3405),
we can still change it. So if we can now decide on making this a
"standard" driver, we can change the MediaTek interface to match IMX
and standardize on that. (There are existing Chromebooks shipped with
a different interface, but we could handle those separately with
downstream patches. I think having a unified interface that will
prevent this problem in the future would be worth some extra
complication right now.)
