SCM is SMCCC or something else?

Why do you need this in DT? If you already know you have a firmware 
interface (via "qcom,scm"), then query the firmware to see if the SEE is 
there.

It's whatever qcom-scm.c uses. I'm not too familiar with the specifics,
so maybe someone else can answer this better.

Unfortunately I don't know of any way to query this, but please let me
know if you do.

As I've briefly mentioned in the cover letter: There are two interfaces
to manage secure apps. QSEECOM (on older and current-gen laptop devices)
and scminvoke (on newer and some current-gen mobile devices if I
understood right). ACPI also uses a separate device for this
(QCOM0476), so it seemed like the best option to follow that.

Ideally, scminvoke would be preferred since that can be integrated as
TEE driver, but I've been told that on platforms where apps (like
uefisecapp) are loaded via QSEECOM by firmware, we can only use QSEECOM
to communicate with those.

Regards,
Max
