We've said no to this in the past:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lore.kernel.org_lkml_20210923112058.GA14893-40C02TD0UTHF1T.local_&d=DwIBAg&c=nKjWec2b6R0mOyPaz7xtfQ&r=OrNjoyjPmqlDfiSr6RMDtAJU4gxiGfgzEtgbqDmoQPA&m=fj6aQCqc0xOYgRMw7BGCVRrOEabi2taRuKl63gCdHras-JfpWCGhjp6HqaLZYj9I&s=1_EJt65j5EoyHhcroJxJFMIkTqQY6jKtWypPIzmgYK8&e=

I don't think anything has changed, and this has all the same problems as before, so I do not think we should do this.
Rakesh >> Can you please be more specific why the changes are not getting accepted?

Which SMC calls do you want to trace, and why?
Rakesh >> These traces we would like to have for debugging purposes while calling any SMC call.

Thanks,
Mark.
