Will do, thanks!

We have a mix of ARMv7/LPAE (Brahma-B15) and ARMv8 (Brahma-B53,
Cortex-A72) devices that we regularly test with 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.

We currently have two SCMI device nodes in Device Tree:

- the first one is responsible for all of the base, performance, sensors
protocols and is present on all of the chips listed above

- the second one is responsible for a proprietary protocol through which
we encapsulate a variety of operations towards a secure agent in the
system, this is only present in a subset of devices.

The reason for that split was because the nature of the SCMI traffic was
different, the first one is comprised of small messages dealing with
power management, most messages can be completed synchronously (or
quasi, if you remember our mailbox implementation) whereas the second is
comprised of large and asynchronously completed messages. This is not
probably a common set-up, and we have since eliminated that second SCMI
interface and went with a direct Linux to agent interface that does not
"speak" SCMI.

We may still have multiple SCMI devices in the future since we are
trying to separate out the CPU performance domain which involves writing
to registers that are either ARM system control registers, or only on an
ARM CPU local bus. The other clock/performance controls can go directly
to the agent implementing SCMI.

I had intentionally not done it because:

- it would create a different name than "dev_name" and I liked having
the same name throughout the entire sysfs hierarchy to easily identify
the device

- it would require doing a sprintf() variant to format the name which
require a temporary buffer

No strong preference either way though.
