FWIW, we use the clk-scmi.c driver and the implementation of the SCMI 
platform/server resides in the ARM EL3 trusted firmware, that also has 
not changed. Ultimately this results in an ARM SMC call made to the 
firmware after having posted some SCMI message in a shared memory 
region. None of that has changed or is new, but it does also require me 
to look drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/ for possible changes.

Thanks!
