Hi Cristian,

I am currently working on an interface for VMs to communicate their
performance requirements to the hosts by passing through cpu frequency
adjustments.

Your patch looks very interesting but I have some questions:

Can you share any data and benchmarks using you fake SCMI device.
Also, could you provide the emulated device code so that the results can
be reproduced.
