I personally would not prefer to add the support when I know it is getting

OK, the details on the proposal to deprecate can be now found in UEFI
bugzilla [1]
Wouldn't it be a better approach to propose deprecating the field when there
is a readily available alternative, i.e. not a spec from a different body in
beta stage?
Understandable and valid concerns. It would be helpful if you raise it in
the UEFI bugzilla. Your concerns will get lost if you just raise here.
ok, thanks. I can do that if and when I can get an account...
To me, this new SMC support will take an appreciable amount of time to be
implemented in FW by SiPs when actually released. And if it requires an ATF
upgrade - which I guess it does - then that's a big job.
Again I do understand, please raise it with the SMCCC specification contact
as listed in the link I shared.
I will talk with my FW guys first when they return from CNY.
Cheers,
