Could you please quickly explain what it would take to provide SCMI on 
top of this instead of SCPI?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/7/624

I can certainly see that SCPI is an easier target because it's already 
upstream and widely spread. But wouldn't it make sense to jump on the 
SCMI train while it's taking steam?


Thanks,

Alex
