Sorry, first time submitting a schema. Already saw the warning of Rob's
bot and Will fix this in v2.

This is essentially software (kernel driver) talking to software (in the
TrustZone), so I don't expect there to be anything SoC specific about it.

How would I do that? A lot of other stuff also depends on SCM being
present (e.g. qcom_q6v5_pas for loading mdt files) and I don't see them
declare this in the device tree. As far as I can tell, SCM is pretty
much expected to be there at all times (i.e. can't be unloaded) and
drivers check for it when probing via qcom_scm_is_available(),
deferring probe if not.

Don't take this as an excuse as in "I want to leave that out", it's just
that I don't know how one would declare such a dependency explicitly. If
you can tell me how to fix it, I'll include that for v2.

Regards,
Max
