I'm aware of it - I have implemented a large part of the GP TEE APIs
earlier (primarily the crypto functions). Does the TEE you work with
actually support GP properly? Can I take a look at the code?

Normally the TEE implementations are well-guarded secrets and the
state of the implementation is quite random. In many cases keeping
things secret is fine from my point of view, given that it is a RoT
after all. The secrecy is the core business here. So, this is why I
opted the userspace 'secret' route - no secrets in the kernel, but
it's fine for the userspace. Umh was a logical fit to implement it.
