These are the ones that have actual/enabled client/consumer devices,
e.g. scmi3 for ufs, scmi11 for uart, scmi23 for thermal sensors.

We can enable all the SCMI servers, but I'm afraid that cause kernel
to map shared memory and issue SMC calls to discover protocols (like
power domains, DVFS, resets) that have no consumers, which might waste
a small amount of memory and boot time.

scmi15 currently doesn't have any enabled consumers, so I will drop it
for now.
