If you have any objections, this is your last chance to speak up before
the original change gets reverted in the mainline with this patch.

Hi Ulf,

I don't have any other SCMI changes for v6.0 fixes or v6.1
I am fine if you are happy to take this via your tree or I can send it
to SoC team. Let me know. I will give final one or 2 days for Renesas
to get back if they really care much.
