Where do you expect the documentation to be put?

similar as scmi_protocol.h, put in scmi_imx_protcol.h?

ok. Sorry for missing your previous comment in v1. Let me write here briefly
first.

The Battery Backup (BB) Domain contains the Battery Backed Security
Module (BBSM) and the Battery Backed Non-Secure Module (BBNSM).
BBM protocol is to manage i.MX BBSM and BBNSM. This protocol supports
#define COMMAND_PROTOCOL_VERSION             0x0U

#define COMMAND_NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL_VERSION   0x10U

For now in this patchset for linux, we only use RTC, and BUTTON
for system wakeup

For MISC protocol, it is for various misc things, such as discover
build info, get rom passed data, get reset reason, get i.mx
cfg name, control set(for gpio expander under m33 control and
etc). The command as below:
51 #define COMMAND_PROTOCOL_VERSION             0x0U

  53 #define COMMAND_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_ATTRIBUTES  0x2U

  57 #define COMMAND_MISC_DISCOVER_BUILD_INFO     0x6U

  59 #define COMMAND_MISC_CONTROL_NOTIFY          0x8U                                                   
  60 #define COMMAND_MISC_REASON_ATTRIBUTES       0x9U                                                   
  61 #define COMMAND_MISC_RESET_REASON            0xAU                                                   
  62 #define COMMAND_MISC_SI_INFO                 0xBU                                                   
  63 #define COMMAND_MISC_CFG_INFO                0xCU

  65 #define COMMAND_NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL_VERSION   0x10U

I will add the information in v3.

But as of now I am not sure
how to proceed with dt-binding, add in vendor stuff
in arm,scmi.yaml or add imx,scmi.yaml

Thanks,
Peng.
