Similarly as I already commented elsewhere, in an SCMI-based platform
this is something you should be able to discover at run-time with a
query command of some kind (or using some bits of the existing cmds)
....so that you dont have this dependency on constants defined and
built into the platform fw....what if your fw evolves to allow more
monitors ?
Thanks,
