Re: [RFC v1 3/5] xen/arm: introduce SCMI-SMC mediator driver



Hi,

One more question: As you probably seen - Jan had a complains about SCI

Control Interrupt.

I see his point. As a term I see "SCMI" often and sometimes "SCPI" but
"SCI" is the first time I saw it with this patch series.


I think of using SC (as System Control) instead. What do you think
about it?

Yeah, I am not great at naming things but maybe "ARM_SCI"?  "SC" alone
doesn't give me enough context to guess what it is.

I might be missing some context. Why are naming everything SCI rather than SMCI?


Or we could broaden the scope and call it "firmware_interface"?
How would this be used? Will it be a list of interface that will be exposed to the guest?

Cheers,
