+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.

+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 {
That would needlessly create devices for any other child nodes and it
is not a bus. Just find the node and call of_platform_device_create
for that node in an initcall.
