Currently, smc/hvc calls are made with parameters set
to zeros. We are using multiple scmi instances within
a VM. We are sharing the same smc-id(func_id) with all
scmi instance. The hypervisor needs a way to distinguish
among hvc calls made from different instances.
This patch series introduces new compatible string which
can be used to pass shmem channel address as parameters
to smc/hvc calls.
