There is not specific discussions with OP-TEE to know which
Yet, assuming we have that scmi channel notif ID from optee, how does
scmi/optee driver relates to optee device irqchip?
With DT, we get both the optee irqchip ref (phandle) and our channel
notif irq line number (phandle arg #1).
Without DT, we still need to reference optee's irqchip.
