OK, I'll use "linaro" then.

Yes, the hypervisor needs to be involved (translating IPA to PA etc)
when invoking secure world.

I tried that and discovered that a
compatible = "simple-bus";
is needed for the firmware node for optee to get probed. Is it OK to write
the example as:

firmware {
        compatible = "simple-bus";

        optee {
