Again fairly thin commit message, be useful to provide more details.

I'd also explicitly say you're adding stubs and the foundations for this but the
actual implementation isn't in place yet.

Generally [] stuff is for small fixups done to a patch, so a major rework isn't
really suited to this form.

The done thing for this kind of thing I think is something like:

Co-developed-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla at arm.com>
Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla at arm.com>
Signed-off-by: Alexandru Elisei <alexandru.elisei at arm.com>

Note that you require Sudeep's explicit permission to do this though! :)

Overall this looks obviously correct (TM), so with the commit message +
authorship stuff addressed:
