Great ! It would be much appreciated...

... that was the plan :P

Note that the upstream SCMI ACS suite that I am using for stressing/testing
this Raw thing is still WIP in term of supporting Raw mode injection
(i.e. functional but ALL still to be merged)..but if you need I can give
you pointers on how to use it....unless of course you have your suite or
you just want to test using the shell as in the cover-letter examples...

... on my side I tried to fuzz me with a brutal

	'dd bs=128 count=1 if=/dev/random of=<scmi_raw>/message'

as a poor man fuzzying tool :D ... so I was thinking if it was meaningful
to think about upstreaming some common tools for fuzzying or simply
pre-building bare payloads (in proper endianity) to be injected with this
SCMI raw thing... (I mean something useful that could live in tools/)

...any feedbacks/hints in these regards are welcome.

Thanks,
Cristian
