IIUC, you would introduce a compatible for each unique production if there
is a need. This constitutes as a strong need for that, but you need just
that, no need to have any notion or info to indicate TrEE/TEE as you know
this product runs those in TEE.

In short, just use the platform specific(not SoC or SoC family) specific
compatible to initialise your driver and don't introduce any specific
compatible for this particular firmware interface need.
