That's not the point. It is obvious that your firmware is compatible
with arm,scmi, but what you try to say in this and revised patch is that
every arm,scmi is compatible with your implementation. What you are
saying is that 0x84 is MISC protocol for every firmware, Qualcomm, NXP,
Samsung, TI, Mediatek etc.

I claim it is not true. 0x84 is not MISC for Qualcomm, for example.
