Currently, smc/hvc calls are made with smc-id only. The parameters are
all set to zeros. This patch defines two optional device tree bindings,
that can be used to pass parameters in smc/hvc calls.

This is useful when multiple scmi instances are used with common smc-id.

Why 2 values ?

I really would like to avoid this binding. Because of lack of standard
SMC/HVC FID for SCMI we had to add this binding. Extending for newer use
case like this in a vendor specific way is something I would like to avoid.

Even if we end up adding(which I would very much like to avoid), I don't see
the need for 32 and 64 bit params like this. There must be ways to avoid that
used by some property in some other binding(I will look for one if we choose
this path)

I can do with one property if you prefer that. Its just I wanted to 
ensure that whosoever is setting

the parameter list, is mindful of 32bit vs 64bit convention. If we use 
one property, do you propose to add a new property like width to specify 
if theĀ  parameter list is for 32bit vs 64bit?

If you have a solution to get rid of FID from DTB node, I will follow 
the same however until that happens, my view is that we put the 
parameters in dtb.

Since you sent v2 before our discussion finished, let me answer here:
this does not look like property for DT. Do not send new patches without
giving reviewers chance to respond.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Ok. My rationale on that is, if we allow smc-id which goes in r0/w0/x0 
registers in smc/hvc call to be part of dtb, then we should allow 
parameters which go in r1/w1/x1 to r6/w6/x6 register to be part of dtb. 
If you have an alternative suggestion, I am all ears!
