[PATCH v2 1/3] KVM: arm64: Restrict FF-A host version renegotiation

From: Per Larsen via B4 Relay
Date: Thu May 08 2025 - 04:39:49 EST


From: Per Larsen <perlarsen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Prevent the host from re-negotiating a lesser minor version with the
hypervisor. Once the hypervisor negotiates a version, that should
remain locked in. Fix the current behaviour by returning NOT_SUPPORTED
to avoid the FF-A interoperability rules with lesser minor versions that
allow the host version to downgrade.
