So you claim that your vendor extensions are the same or fully
compatible with arm,scmi and you add nothing... Are your
extensions/protocol valid for arm,scmi? If yes, why is this in separate
binding. If no, why you use someone else's compatible?

Maybe your binding is correct, feel free to convince me (and read first
writing bindings).

Best regards,
