Hello Salman,

Thank you for the patch. As you might know, I am implementing the
interrupt interface for LFA driver. The LFA usecase I am working
with will validate both interrupt and sysfs interfaces of the LFA
driver. Hence, I would like to extend the driver posted here with
required changes. Please find the extended driver patches posted
at [1].
While working on this code, I realized that LFA driver should
use SMCCC 1.2+ version as per the LFA specification. And I have
included a patch to upgrade SMCCC version in the code.
As the initial LFA driver in this thread isn't merged yet, I would
like to request modification to this original patch based on
a review comment on my patch series.

Could we please come up with a strategy to incorporate the changes?
We are aiming to merge LFA patches to Linux kernel as soon as
possible. Since I am actively working on this driver, I will be
happy to revise the initial patch(with authors intact) and post
a fresh series for review.

Regards,
Veda
