Platform and agent supported protocols versions do not necessarily match.
When talking to an older platform SCMI server, supporting only older
protocol versions, the kernel SCMI agent will downgrade the version of
the used protocol to match the platform one and avoid compatibility issues.
In the case, instead, in which the agent happens to communicate with a
newer platform server which can support newer protocol versions unknown to
the agent, and potentially backward incompatible, the agent currently
carries on, silently, in a best-effort approach.
Note that the SCMI server, by the specification, has no means to explicitly
detect the protocol versions used by the agents, neither it is required to
support multiple, older, protocol versions.
Add an explicit protocol version check to let the agent detect when this
version mismatch happens and warn the user about this condition.

Any suggestion for a more meaningful warn message is very much welcome.

Much better ... I'm fine with these changes ... I was tempted to use
'higher' too, but not sure what was more effective at communicating
the issue...a panic usually does it better :P (joking ah,...)
