+Subject: [PATCH] UPSTREAM: firmware: arm_ffa: Handle compatibility with
+ different firmware versions
+
+The driver currently just support v1.0 of Arm FFA specification. It also
+expects the firmware implementation to match the same and bail out if it
+doesn't match. This is causing issue when running with higher version of
+firmware implementation(e.g. v1.1 which will released soon).
+
+In order to support compatibility with different firmware versions, let
+us add additional checks and find the compatible version the driver can
+work with.
