Sorry. Missed that.

My patch series introduce using of the feature-domain-controller to
control access for the devices across the VMs. In our case we have
virtualized system, controlled by Xen hypervisor with some amount of the
VMs called Domains. Each Domain is the complete OS and HW is
separated between them. We need SCMI to control power/clocks/resets etc
from each Domain. feature-domain-controller in our case is SCMI node and
each device will receive unique ID which match the ID from SCP firmware
to set the device permissions so the SCP will know whether to give
access to the resource for the Domain or not.
Those feature-domain-controller node and links from devices will be
processed by Xen during Domain creation and the DT for the Domain will
be generated without those bindings.
So probably Firewall will not see the scmi related links in the device
nodes, but I think that the case when the device node is linked to more
then one feature-domain-controller is possible because bindings are generic.

i.MX boards are also have system partitioning concept in SCFW.

What do you think about access-controller or feature-access-controller?
Maybe it will fit better here if all potential use cases for this
bingins is to say if the device can be accessed.
