Add a new transport channel to the SCMI firmware interface driver for
SCMI message exchange based on optee transport channel. The optee
transport is realized by connecting and invoking OP-TEE SCMI service
interface PTA.
Hi Etienne,

I was going to just add Reviewed-by...but...

Optee transport support (CONFIG_ARM_SCMI_TRANSPORT_OPTEE) is default
enabled when optee driver (CONFIG_OPTEE) is enabled. Effective optee
transport is setup upon OP-TEE SCMI service discovery at optee
device initialization. For this SCMI UUID is registered to the optee
bus for probing. This is done from the link_supplier operator of the
SCMI optee transport.

The optee transport can use a statically defined shared memory in
which case SCMI device tree node defines it using an "arm,scmi-shmem"
compatible phandle through property shmem. Alternatively, optee transport
allocates the shared memory buffer from the optee driver when no shmem
property is defined.

The protocol used to exchange SCMI message over that shared memory is
negotiated between optee transport driver and the OP-TEE service through
capabilities exchange.

OP-TEE SCMI service is integrated in OP-TEE since its release tag 3.13.0.
The service interface is published in [1].

I build tested again...and booted without using it really, just to try load/unload
of the core SCMI module (so building with ARM_SCMI_PROTOCOL=m) and unfortunately
I spotted this warning:

I suppose it could be that on my system I have not defined an OPTEE DT node, so
the transport is NEVER initialized (and driver_register) since you are doing it
in .link_supplier not in .transport_init, BUT then it is indeed always .exited
by the usual .transport_exit.

I would recommend adding a check on your exit to avoid this (probably using
scmi_optee_private to avoid unregistering if never registered ?).
Fully make sense, yes. If transport was not initialized (from scmi
link_supplier), it cannot be unregistered (from scmi transport_exit).
I'll follow your suggestion.
Sorry, I think I thought about telling you about this check on .exit in previous
version but I did not eventaully.
Don't be sorry and many thanks again for the reviews, feedback and guidelines.
Additionally, I have a slight concern if default-enabling it or not; as an
example virtio is default-N just because it felt like a more esoteric
transport not generally needed...but this will probably change indeed with all the
work you guys are doing on virtualizing the stack, so no strong opinion here ...

...and I'll happily let Sudeep decide on this :D.
Sure. From my view, once both CONFIG_ARM_SCMI_PROTOCOL and
CONFIG_OPTEE are enabled, we can enable SCMI optee transport since it
will be initialized only upon discovery of the OP-TEE firmware SCMI
service (using the tee bus).

Cheers,
Etienne
Thanks,
Cristian
