optee-based efi runtime variable service on TI j784s4 platforms

[Enric Balletbo i Serra]

Hi all,

I'm looking for any advice/clue to help me to progress on enabling
TEE-base EFI Runtime Variable Service on TI a j784s4 platforms.

I basically followed the steps described in u-boot documentation [1],
I enabled some debugging messages but I think I'm at the point that
the problem might be in the StandaloneMM application, and I'm not sure
how to debug it.

What I see is that when I run the tee-supplicant daemon, it looks like
the tee_client_open_session() call loops forever and the tee_stmm_efi
driver never ends to probe.

With debug enabled I got the following messages.

# tee-supplicant

And tracing the function calls gives me that:

      tee_stmm_efi_probe() {
             tee_client_open_context() {
               optee_get_version() {
                 tee_get_drvdata(); (ret=0xffff000002e55800)
               } (ret=0xd)

                   optee_smccc_smc() {
