Should we remove the version check inside the ffa_device_match_uuid
function as this function will only be called from the bus notifier ?

Also I wonder if we should have the change from patch 2 (the one which
removes the ffa_device_match_uuid call from ffa_device_match) inside
this. Wdyth ?


Thank you,
