Three type of security firmware(s): HSM, V2X-SHE, V2X-HSM, are running at the cores dedicated to the each different secure-enclave hardware IP(s).
Each firmware receives the message to act and response back with the completed act.
This message exchanges happens through the Message-Unit hardware interface. 
There could be multiple MU for multiple security firmware, that would be used for respective message exchanges.

This node defines the details of each such MU interface.

Reason to put under firmware:
	Since this node specifies interface details between kernel and firmware, it was put under parent "firmware {".
	I am not sure if this reason is correct enough to begin with.

Thanks for allowing to revisit.

I will make the change to whatever you finalize now. Thanks.
