The SMC has two calling conventions - SMC32/HVC32 and SMC64/HVC64. The
Stratix 10 driver uses the 64-bit calling convention (see
INTEL_SIP_SMC_FAST_CALL_VAL in
include/linux/firmware/intel/stratix10-smc.h), so it should not run in
aarch32 (regardless of type of hardware).

I think that my patch limiting the support to 64-bit makes sense.
