SCM and SMC (and SMCCC) are closely related but not the same.


SMC (secure monitor call) is the standard mechanism of invoking 
communication

with TZ.


SCM (secure channel manager) is a QC mechanism of communicating with their

vast vast vast HYP and TZ implementations, using HVC (hypervisor call) 
and SMC

respectively.


SMCCC (secure monitor call calling convention) is a standard for how to 
structure

SMCs and HVCs.


PSCI uses SMC calls on sdm670.
