Yes I agree, now that you really get ops and a hold on the protocol in
fact it'd be better _get_protocol/_put_protocol or similar; I'd prefer
not to split retrieving the ops from the protocol_handle since they
need each other to work. I'll fix in V5.

Do you mean passing the protocol_handle around instead of the handle, so
that protocols impementation are restricted to their own protocol number
and SCMI drivers cannot access anything at the protocol layer ?
It seems reasonable to me but I'm happy to discuss your concerns, also
because up until now you are my main and only feedback about this :D

Thanks
