[PATCH v3 12/19] firmware: arm_ffa: Reject higher major version as incompatible
From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Mon Feb 17 2025 - 10:42:23 EST
When the firmware compatibility was handled previously in the commit
8e3f9da608f1 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Handle compatibility with different firmware versions"),
we only addressed firmware versions that have higher minor versions
compared to the driver version which is should be considered compatible
unless the firmware returns NOT_SUPPORTED.
However, if the firmware reports higher major version than the driver
supported, we need to reject it. If the firmware can work in a compatible
mode with the driver requested version, it must return the same major
version as requested.
