By firmware, spec refers to DT or ACPI, just to be clear.

Why ? I prefer to solve this in a generic way and make it not scmi
specific issue. If OPP idea Viresh suggested can be made to work, that
would be good.

Not completely against it, just need to understand how is this solved
or will be solved for any DT(non SCMI) and why it can be generic.
