Unfortunately, I do not have control over the TA's API. If a TA expects
to receive data in the embedded buffer, then I cannot use a memory
object. To maintain the ABI and avoid the UBUF, I need two copies:
(1) the user data passed to the library is copied to memory allocated
using TEE_ALLOC, (2) in the driver, the data is copied from the tee_shm to
the embedded buffer as expected by QTEE.
