Just to rephrase a bit what's being said in the referred mail thread:
On STM32MP13x, there are SCMI messages that must be processed inside a
thread execution context in the SCMI server. There is no standard SMC
function ID defined that the SCMI/SMC transport could use for that
purpose. OP-TEE provides such a threaded context. Therefore STM32MP13x
explicitly expects SCMI services based on SCMI/OP-TEE transport, not
SCMI/SMC transport.

Best regards,
etienne
