Wouldn't be better to add some kind of per-protocol 'initialized' flag somewhere
in the bus abstraction so that the protocol_id itself could be marked as initialized
once bus::scmi_protocol_init() completes successfully so that we could just skip the
invocation itself of bus::scmi_protocol_init() for all the protocols already detected
as initialized ?

Or, if not a flag, maybe deactivating the registered protocol init function itself
once it has been successfully called once .....something along the lines of:

diff --git a/drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/bus.c b/drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/bus.c

--- a/drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/bus.c
+++ b/drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/bus.c
@@ -73,6 +73,8 @@ static int scmi_dev_probe(struct device *dev)
        ret = scmi_protocol_init(scmi_dev->protocol_id, scmi_dev->handle);
        if (ret)
                return ret;
+       idr_replace(&scmi_protocols, dummy_return_0_callback,
+                       scmi_dev->protocol_id);
 
        return scmi_drv->probe(scmi_dev);

[not really tested eh ... :D]

This way we can drop this patch as a whole and avoid any future needs to remember
to add this same sort of logic in the next XYZ protocol implementation.

Cheers

Cristian
