I wonder if it makes sense to quiesce the warnings from the core if the
platform doesn't support notifications. I prefer to not add if notification
supported in all the protocols.

If the interface can return -EOPNOTSUPP(equivalent to SCMI_ERR_SUPPORT),
the caller must handle it appropriately(i.e. continue if it can handle
absence of notification or propagate error).

Cristian, Thoughts/opinions ?

Sure, makes sense to improve where ever possible.
