Hi Sibi,

Nice to see vendor protocols starting to make their way into upstream !

I only glanced through the series as of now, and I'd have a few
questions before going on with the review:

 - why this protocol is dependent on a specific transport ?
   Is it to compile it only on platform supoprting it without adding
   a per-protocol Kconfig ?

Protocols are anyway enumerated at SCMI stack probe time so even if it
is not there it just won't be activated...I maybe missing something.

Thanks,
Cristian
