Thanks for your comments, let me explain a bit.

While the ops are indeed per-protocol common code available to SCMI drivers,
the protocol handle, which you also obtain with devm_protocol_get(), is
instead an opaque reference bound to the specific protocol instance
associated to the platform handle you're using, so that, in case there are
multiple SCMI platforms defined on the system, you'll get, at each probe a
specific and distinct protocol_handle to use with your ops: this way
you'll act upon a completely distinct initialized protocol stack, using
a distinct underlying transport layer toward your platform of choice.

Since this series wanted to unify SCMI standard and custom protocol interfaces
and enable modularization too, the get/put abstraction is there indeed to be
able to track internally protocol users and do resource accounting so that an
SCMI driver has to explicitly ask to use a protocol: the protocols instances are
then initialized on demand only when the first user shows up and more importantly
a hold is put on the protocol module refs avoiding its possible unloading
while still in use (even though only custom protocol are allowed as loadable
modules as of now...)

Coming to the ops instead, the reason not to simply export them was...well...
...not to export new symbols, and not just to stick to the old handle->ops()
interface way of non-exporting ops, or because I'm pavid at exporting new symbols
(I am :D), but because the idea was that in this way it would also have been
easier for vendors writing custom protocol modules to be able to just use them
in their own SCMI driver without the need to export also their new custom ops.
(and same goes generally for any new possible future standard protocol
 which will not require endlessly further exports)

Just for these reasons I attached the ops retrieval the same protocol_get()
interface already introduced to handle all of the above.

I'm not fullly liking it too, but it was the best I could come up to cope
with the above reqs (and the limited amount of my grey-matter :D)

But if in the future we can come up with something better, or some reqs
are dropped/revisited I'll be happy to flood the list with another
jumbo-series.
