Does not look like you tested the bindings. Please run `make
dt_binding_check` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst for instructions).

Sorry, first time submitting a schema. Already saw the warning of Rob's
bot and Will fix this in v2.

+description: |
+  Various Qualcomm SoCs do not allow direct access to UEFI variables. Instead,
+  these need to be accessed via the UEFI Secure Application (uefisecapp),
+  residing in the Trusted Execution Environment (TrEE). These bindings mark the
+  presence of uefisecapp and allow the respective client driver to load and
+  install efivar operations, providing the kernel with access to UEFI
+  variables.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: qcom,tee-uefisecapp

Isn't this SoC-specific device? Generic compatibles are usually not
expected.

This is essentially software (kernel driver) talking to software (in the
TrustZone), so I don't expect there to be anything SoC specific about it.

+            compatible = "qcom,tee-uefisecapp";

You did not model here any dependency on SCM. This is not full
description of the firmware/hardware

How would I do that? A lot of other stuff also depends on SCM being
present (e.g. qcom_q6v5_pas for loading mdt files) and I don't see them
declare this in the device tree. As far as I can tell, SCM is pretty
much expected to be there at all times (i.e. can't be unloaded) and
drivers check for it when probing via qcom_scm_is_available(),
deferring probe if not.

Don't take this as an excuse as in "I want to leave that out", it's just
that I don't know how one would declare such a dependency explicitly. If
you can tell me how to fix it, I'll include that for v2.

Max
