Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 2/2] tee: add OP-TEE driver

Hi,
We have discussed and implemented an in-kernel interface for the driver.
However, we need to agree on that interface with the kernel submodules that
can be interested in using it (e.g., IMA, keyring). We though it was easier
to have a framework in place before taking this space. This makes sense
since a TEE driver will be, as for today, mostly used by user space.
applications.

Best,
Javier
