Interestingly, it doesn't seem like a problem with qseecom - even if I
disable the driver, the board still freezes after the first SCM call
using SHM bridge. I suspect - and am trying to clarify that with qcom
- that this architecture doesn't support SHM bridge but doesn't report
it either unlike other older platforms. Or maybe there's some quirk
somewhere. Anyway, I'm on it.
