Our hypervisor deals with objects and uses object-ids to identify them.
The hvc doorbell object is independent of the shmem object created by
hypervisor. Hypervisor treats them independently. With the patch you
mentioned, hypervisor need to create an association between the doorbell
object and shmem object which will make it SCMI specific change in
hypervisor. Hypervisor doesn't really care if doorbell is for SCMI or
for other purposes hence we are adding this new driver so it can work
with our hypervisor ABIs specification.
