I would expect that instead of of

	if (arm_smccc_get_version() < ARM_SMCCC_VERSION_1_2)
		return 0;

	if (arm_smccc_1_1_get_conduit() == SMCCC_CONDUIT_NONE) {
		pr_err("%s: invalid SMCCC conduit\n", __func__);
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
	}

	arm_smccc_1_1_invoke(ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES_FUNC_ID,
			     ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_SOC_ID, &res);


you will simply call

	arm_smccc_1_2_invoke(ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES_FUNC_ID,
			     ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_SOC_ID, &res);
	...(check ret)

	arm_smccc_1_2_invoke(ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_SOC_ID, 0, &res);
	...(check ret)


where it is clear from 1_2 that it has to be at least 1.2 version.

I will read it and take a look when I have time.
