TBH, I don't have a strong comment for this but, I'm not sure why
it is necessary.
Since it calls just "smc" with the passed argments,
I think it can be handled by default_smc_handler() without adding this
function but return the ture for DIRECT MSG2 in ffa_call_support().

Am I missing something?

I think FFA_ID_GET should be a seperated patch?

Thanks.
