Hi Sudeep and Mark,
Thanks for the review. I replied inline.

Yes Sudeep. I redesigned the way I handle the smccc call. Previously it was handled directly in mmc driver.
After few discussion, we conclude to create an abstraction using regulator framework to encapsulate this smccc call
during set voltage operation. Using standard abstraction will make things easier for the maintainer.

May I know even if I wire up the DT, how should I call this from the mmc driver
For set/get voltage operation? Any example?

The KMB SCMI framework is implemented in secure runtime firmware (TF-A BL31).
Hopefully I am answering your question.
