Really you should explain and link to information about > things you mention in documentation. How else is anyone supposed to Generally yes, but please note that SCMI and related drivers are already there in U-Boot. For instance, see drivers/firmware/scmi/Kconfig. I don't think we need any more explanation about what is SCMI everywhere the word, "SCMI", appears. > figure out what you are talking about?

While I still believe that What SCMI agent ID means is trivial for those who read the SCMI specification, I will give a short description about possible values. > > > > > > > > + > > > > + > > > > + Device ID > > > > > > what is this? > > > > Again, will change it to "SCMI Device ID". > > That doesn't help much.

Please note that the definition of "device (ID)", except its data type, is out of scope of SCMI specification. It doesn't describe any means by which values be identified/retrieved. > > > > > > + > > > > + > > > > + Protocol ID, should not be 0x10 (base protocol) > > > > > > what is this?

A string? Will add a short description about its data type/format. > It is confusing > that the command ID is also a protocol ID. Yes, I know, but the confusion exists in SCMI specification. It sometimes seems to use both words almost interchangeably, even in a single context. For instance, the section 4.2.2.11 of [1] says, 4.2.2.11 BASE_SET_PROTOCOL_PERMISSIONS ... This command BASE_SET_PROTOCOL_PERMISSIONS is used to ... (This "command" has a yet another meaning.) Parameters uint32_t command_id Bits[31:8] Reserved, must be zero Bits[7:0] Protocol ID [1] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0056/e/?lang=en So using "command_id" for a parameter name and "Protocol ID" as a (part of) value is very much aligned with the specification. That said, I will change "command_id" to "protocol_id" for now. > > > > > > + > > > > + > > > > + Flags to control the action.
