I would leave off optee as a vendor. Different implementations by 
vendors should then add their vendor prefix as they all have the chance 
to screw-up something. I suppose we could do "linaro" as the reference 
implementation.

The use here would be a guest VM calling thru to hypervisor and then 
hypervisor calling optee?

This should go under a /firmware node similar to 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/firmware/tlm,trusted-foundations.txt.
