Original implementation for tee-supplicant does several things:
1. allocate shm
2. load ta from user space (fs file)
3. emulate rpmb
4. also there are some ftrace and socket functions which I did not use.

As I I understand, current implementation uses tee-supplicant and it's
library as
API from user land to Trusted OS.

Some docs can be found here:
https://optee.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture/index.html

Yes, that is true. But I think it's something new and good docs will
be some time later.
