The NXP's i.MX EdgeLock Enclave, a HW IP creating an embedded
secure enclave within the SoC boundary to enable features like
- HSM
- SHE
- V2X

Communicates via message unit with linux kernel. This driver
is enables communication ensuring well defined message sequence
protocol between Application Core and enclave's firmware.

Driver configures multiple misc-device on the MU, for multiple
user-space applications can communicate on single MU.

It exists on some i.MX processors. e.g. i.MX8ULP, i.MX93 etc.
