Can it be simply "qcom,scmi-smc" for 2 reasons ?
1. We don't support SMC/HVC without shmem, so what is your argument to add
   '-shmem' in the compatible here ?
2. The exact conduit(SMC/HVC) used is detected runtime, so I prefer to keep
  '-smc' instead of '-hvc' in the compatible just to avoid giving an illusion
  that HVC is the conduit chosen here based on the compatible. It can be true
  for other reason but I don't want to mislead here by using HVC.
