Just curious if this can discovered by some communication within OPTEE.
You know you are using optee-channel-id 0 for all SCMI and 1 for DVFS.
Is it not possible to get the information from OPTEE dynamically like
you do for shmem. It is offset within the notification bitmap IIUC, so
the question is can be get that from the firmware on the fly. It also
gives the firmware to reshuffle things around if needed and don't have to
worry about compatibility with DT ?
