Where has this need been established, what is the actual problem you're
solving with this series?

Does SCM and QSEECOM, as it's implemented in the kernel today, not work
satisfactory?

Is smcinvoke driver upstreaming blocked by not transitioning the scm
driver to a "secure memory pool"?

Is this happening now, or do we need to merge this series when that day
comes?

It's reasonable to assume from mentioning of this (and Andrew's t-b),
that the patchset has only been tested on recent platforms that indeed
does implement shmbridge. Can you please share the list of other
platforms that you've tested this on, and can you please get someone
from IPQ to also give their r-b or t-b?
