Re: [PATCH v2 0/5] Add FF-A support in OP-TEE driver

[Sumit Garg]

Hi Jens,

This patch-set skipped my inbox as I was not on the CC list. So while
reading through ML archives, I found it.

I could see the FF-A driver support merged upstream. Is this patch-set
directly applicable on the upstream kernel? If yes, can you also share
steps to test it on Qemu?

Since now we have two ABIs towards secure world:
- OP-TEE ABI
- FF-A ABI

I think it would be better to have ABI specific APIs separated from
core.c to have a clear view of abstraction. How about new file names
as:
- optee_{msg/abi}.c
- ffa_{msg/abi}.c

Can you elaborate on different device tree or ACPI configuration?
AFAIR, FF-A utilizes bus enumeration to scan OP-TEE UUID.
