Hi Krzysztof,

thanks for the feedback and sorry I posted with an incomplete Cc list.

Yes indeed, but as a matter of fact it seemed to me that we used to add an
entry and an example for all the currently published standard SCMI protocols,
even though already covered by the patternProp (which covers also any
custom-vendor protocol in the wild) and not sporting any additional
custom properties (see protocol@18), but maybe this is just a unneeded wrong
habit adding only cruft to the bindings.

If you think it does not add any value I can happily drop this, or
limiting the addition just to the example (and/or drop equally the unneeded
protocol@18 node too in this case).

Thanks,
Cristian
