drivers/tee/tee_private.h is supposed to be used internally by only
the files in drivers/tee. If you look in include/linux/tee_drv.h
you'll find a few functions and other definitions that a kernel TEE
client driver should not use, for instance, tee_device_register() and
tee_device_unregister(). This kernel TEE client interface was
introduced with commit 25559c22cef8 ("tee: add kernel internal client
interface"). include/linux/tee_drv.h existed before we even had any
kernel TEE client interface.
