Just one question.
In our patch, we pass the shared memory address as the second argument of the SiP service, as it means we don't have to hardcode that in our firmware. Sudeep, do you know if it was intentional in smc_send_message() to leave that out? If we leave it out, we are requiring the secure monitor to hardcode the shared memory address.
