I have decided to ignore all these vendor protocol patches until they have
some documentation to understand what these protocol are for, what are
the commands, their input/output parameter details, any conditions are the
caller and callee,..etc very similar to SCMI spec.

To start with can you please expand what is BBM or MISC protocol is ?
Don't expect me to respond if the requested details are still missing in
the future versions, I am going to ignore it silently.

I have asked for these in atleast 2 different threads may be not just NXP
patches but in one instance Qcom patches, but they apply equally here.
