Could you share a detailed description of the issue which you are
facing? optee_enumerate_devices() is a simple invocation of pseudo TA
and cases where OP-TEE doesn't provide corresponding pseudo TA are
handled very well.

I wouldn't call it an optional feature as there might be real kernel
drivers dependent on this enumeration. Also, it is a simple example to
self test OP-TEE functionality too. So I am not sure how much
functional OP-TEE would be if this basic TA invocation fails.
