That part makes sense.

I have to guess PTA means "Platform Trusted Application" but I have no
guarantee, adding to the level of (already high) confusion brought on by this
patchset.

That is correct - I understand the need for an rproc_ID. The problem is with
the comment that states that '0' is aligned with the TEE definitions, which in
my head means hard coded value and a big red flag. What it should say is
"aligned with the TEE device tree definition".

I agree, for as long as it is not hard coded. The way remote processors are
discovered in the DT is perfectly acceptable, i.e the first remote processor is
for application X, the second for application Y...

I can't find the definition of TEE_REMOTEPROC_DEFAULT_ID anywhere, something
that doesn't help the confusion I referred to above.
