Agreed, folded in and posted as v4 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260924105145.532787-1-marouene.boubakri@oss.nxp.com/, with the commit message adjusted. Thanks, Marouene

Looks good, but I think that while we're at it, we should add
--- a/drivers/tee/optee/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/tee/optee/Kconfig
@@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ config OPTEE
        depends on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC
        depends on MMU
        depends on RPMB || !RPMB
+       depends on ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT || !ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT
        help
          This implements the OP-TEE Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)
          driver.

to make the optee driver a module if the FF-A transport is a module.

Cheers,
Jens
