All unknown RPC of the OPTEE_SMC_RPC_FUNC_CMD type are forwarded to the
supplicant in user space. So there's the option to extend with the
supplicant if needed.

It is true that the RPCs which are dealt with in the driver are fixed.

It's handle_rpc_func_cmd() that could support dynamic registration of
RPC commands. Doing so in optee_handle_rpc() also should be avoided as
it involves updates of an eventual hypervisor.

I'm trying to keep this initial patch set as small as possible to not
make it harder than it already is to review it. If possible I'd like to
wait with new features until after this patch set has been accepted.

Thanks,
Jens
