QEMU uses it for communicating with the secure firmware if
you run secure firmware on the virt board. It's done that
since we introduced that binding. Indeed that use case is *why*
the binding is there. It works fine for the intended purpose,
which is "most devices are visible in both S and NS, but a few
things are S only (UART, a bit of RAM, secure-only flash").
