A number of storage technologies support a specialised hardware
partition designed to be resistant to replay attacks. The underlying
HW protocols differ but the operations are common. The RPMB partition
cannot be accessed via standard block layer, but by a set of specific
RPMB commands: WRITE, READ, GET_WRITE_COUNTER, and PROGRAM_KEY. Such a
partition provides authenticated and replay protected access, hence
suitable as a secure storage.

The initial aim of this patch is to provide a simple RPMB driver
interface which can be accessed by the optee driver to facilitate early
RPMB access to OP-TEE OS (secure OS) during the boot time.

A TEE device driver can claim the RPMB interface, for example, via
rpmb_interface_register() or rpmb_dev_find_device(). The RPMB driver
provides a callback to route RPMB frames to the RPMB device accessible
via rpmb_route_frames().

The detailed operation of implementing the access is left to the TEE
device driver itself.

What about the other rpmb operations?
There are 7 operations in eMMC.

Why not just list_for_each_entry instead?

In addition to the dev_id, wouldn't it make sense to have your own IDA as well?

The use of the term "rpmb descriptor" may be slightly misleading.
This is because in UFS there are various descriptors that identifies various characteristics,
e.g. device descriptor, geometry descriptor, unit descriptor etc., 
and recently UFS4.0 introduced a new descriptor - RPMB descriptor....

There were only 4 at the time, now tot sure they are related to TEE needs.

Might be overloaded, suggestions?

I'm sorry, I don't have access to the spec currently. Do you have a
special operation in mind? Is it better to mention no operation since
UFS has even more operations?

Currently, we don't need it.

Would RPMB description be better? Or do you have some other idea?
