Should we instead do

	arm_smccc_1_1_invoke(smccc_dev->func_id,
			     0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &res);
	ret = res.a0;

There is no standard defining how the various SMCCC VERSION calls are
expected to work. For example, ARM_SMCCC_TRNG_VERSION does not use x1,
while SMC_RSI_ABI_VERSION does. Another VERSION call could use both x1
and x2. The only consistent behavior is to return
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED when the SMCCC function ID is not supported.
