Can you give an example for a system that would contain more than one
TEE? I see that you support dynamic registration, and it's clear that
there can be more than one type of TEE, but why would one have more
than one at a time, and why not more than 32?

It would be good to have an upper bound on the number of parameters
to limit the size of the memory allocation here.

I don't understand what you are protecting against here.
How would we get to this function twice for the same device?

Could you change the caller so it doesn't happen?

Having a union in an ioctl argument seems odd. Have you considered
using two different ioctl command numbers depending on the type?

I'd make that 

	struct tee_ioctl_param params[0];

as wel here, as I also commented in patch 3 that has a similar structure.
