Hi Jens,
Apologies for the delay as I was on leave for the past 2 weeks.

Which OP-TEE release is affected by this where FF-A functionality is

My understanding of capabilities is to denote new features rather than
bug fixes. So I am still not able to make any sense regarding why we
are abusing capabilities to fix bugs in the ABI. If we find more bugs
in the FF-A ABI in future then we will be stuck adding new
capabilities which aren't scalable and unnecessarily complicates
kernel driver.
IMO, the best way to maintain a stable ABI would be to create a stable
release for OP-TEE as well where ABI fixes can be backported. But
since we don't have that currently, we have to live with cherry
picking ABI fixes if we observe issues with earlier OP-TEE releases.
