+OP-TEE Device Tree Bindings
+
+OP-TEE is a piece of software using hardware features to provide a Trusted
+Execution Environment. The security can be provided with ARM TrustZone, but
+also by virtualization or a separate chip. As there's no single OP-TEE
+vendor we're using "optee" as the first part of compatible property,
+indicating the OP-TEE protocol is used when communicating with the secure
+world.
+
+* OP-TEE based on ARM TrustZone required properties:
+
+- compatible     : should contain "optee,optee-tz"
I would leave off optee as a vendor. Different implementations by 
vendors should then add their vendor prefix as they all have the chance 
to screw-up something. I suppose we could do "linaro" as the reference 
implementation.
OK, I'll use "linaro" then.

+- method         : The method of calling the OP-TEE Trusted OS. Permitted
+                   values are:
+
+                   "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified
+		           in drivers/tee/optee/optee_smc.h
+
+                   "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified
+		           in drivers/tee/optee/optee_smc.h
The use here would be a guest VM calling thru to hypervisor and then 
hypervisor calling optee?
Yes, the hypervisor needs to be involved (translating IPA to PA etc)
when invoking secure world.

+Example:
+	optee {
This should go under a /firmware node similar to 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/firmware/tlm,trusted-foundations.txt.
I tried that and discovered that a
compatible = "simple-bus";
is needed for the firmware node for optee to get probed. Is it OK to write
the example as:

firmware {
        compatible = "simple-bus";

        optee {
