Yes so it seems.

Please see my comment regarding this patch earlier in this thread
pasted below for convenience:

So only check once during init. And during init, you should probably
also check that arm_smccc_smc() actually infd optee if
"/firmware/optee" is set, and only then set set the right function
pointer or some flag.
