so now that the catch-all protocol@ patternProperty is gone in favour
of the 'protocol-node' definition and $refs, does that mean that any
current and future SCMI officially published protocol <N> has to be
added to the above explicit protocol list, even though it does not
have any special additional required property beside reg ?
(like protocol@18 above...)

As an example SystemPower protocol@12 is not listed above too and it
has nothing more than a reg=0x12 prop (liek 0x18), but before this patch
was 'covered' by the patternProperty (so Krzysztof shot down, rightly,
my recent attempt to add a distinct protocol@12 def), but now it does not
seem anymore the case...so will we need to add an explicit protocol node
for any future protocol addition ? (SCMI is extensible up to 255
protos..)

Thanks,
Cristian
