Subject: [PATCH v9 12/13] firmware: qcom: scm: clarify the comment in qcom_scm_pas_init_image()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

The "memory protection" mechanism mentioned in the comment is the SHM
Bridge. This is also the reason why we do not convert this call to using
the TZ memory allocator.
