I had a second thought on this. It would be more restrictive for
user-space TEE client library which may need to use implementation
defined login method. So either we could define specific ranges for
kernel and user-space or we can start with single login method
reserved for kernel.

Ok, so you mean to extend the comment here for user-space to know that
this login method/range is filtered by the TEE framework. Will do
that.

I am not sure if I follow you here. How do you expect this change to
break out-of-tree TEE driver registration?
