From HW perspective, the JR is not lost - it is just assigned to S world.
This also provides an opportunity (at least for i.MX8M series) to issue
transactions and create Trusted descriptors in S world for NS world.
This is achieved by 2 sets of ICID/DID pairs, and this is where USE_OUT
bit is actually used. This however is missing on the LS series (SRM does
not state this is implemented), which leaves LS with only one ICID/DID
pair per ring.

From OS perspective however, I would totally agree - the JR is indeed
lost, even if there is no software running that required S world.

The only description of process for control transfer from S to NS world
I was able to find is described in LS1028A SRM section 12.2.2.3, which
only details ring user re-assignment, but it does not detail whether
TZ_OWN can participate in this process (set or reset), and this is also
similar for i.MX8M family.

That's exactly the culprit here: the LDID is not set on the JR reserved.

This makes it possible for the code executing in S to transfer the JR to NS.
Practically, I do not see that this would happen though, as even the NXP
proposed to disable the node at compile time, which gives me an indication
that the transfer was never planned. This is however a dangerous assumption
I have to admit, and in the general case - this transfer can occur.

Moreover, from what I read in the SRM of both i.MX8MM and LS1028A -
there is no lock that is imposed on TZ_OWN bit by setting the LDID (or LICID
for LS family).

Would it be possible for you to tell which section of SRM provides a description
of the JR transfer you mentioned above?

As for probing of the JR node, then I believe it is rather the opposite:
deciding whether the JR is available during probing provides an opportunity to
bind the device later on when it would be released from S to NS world
(provided that this would ever occur). However, keeping in mind that there is
no HW mechanism to indicate that the JR appears in NS world after the boot
and the user transfer should be done manually by some other SW entity - later
bind can also be performed there.

The only difference to the current proposed solution would be to examine the
CAAM control register instead of the flag from JR while probing, and this is what
I'm currently testing on my end.

If the U-Boot implementation would come up with similar dynamic recognition -
then it would not be necessary to disable the node there as well.

This would also ensure that if in later derivatives or ATF code updates another
JR would be reserved as well - there would be no need to change and align DTB
to it, as it would be dynamically recognized.

As I've indicated above: the LDID bit is not set on this JR.

I'm now working on a patchset that would supersede this one, and would
include the dynamic indexing based on the JR address instead of that static
variable used. This would also allow to re-order JR nodes inside the DTS and
do not rely on the order of appearance.

From what I read, PRIM_TZ bit is mixed into the SDID and also "locks" JR
register interface to S world. Setting PRIM_TZ=0 and TZ_OWN=1 has
primarily an influence of SDID construction, this is outlined in JRsDID_MS
register description.

I've compared both i.MX8M and LS family SRMs, and looks like the
OWN_TZ bit is the only unification point here that can be verified.

I 'm currently testing the implementation where only that bit is
checked and so far I have good results. I would post a V2 as a series
and supersede this patch, where only that check would be included.
