Temporary storage may be a stop gap solution for some use-cases but having a fast path access to RPMB via kernel should be our final goal. I would suggest we start small with the MMC subsystem to expose RPMB access APIs for OP-TEE driver rather than a complete RPMB subsystem.

As optee can only access RPMB via tee-supplicant(user space). So, there should be a fast path to allow optee os to access the RPMB parititon without waiting for user-space tee supplicant. > > > > To achieve this fast path linux optee driver and mmc driver needs some work and finally it will need RPMB driver which you posted. > > > > Please let me know what's your plan on this. > > > > [1] https://optee.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture/secure_storage.html > > > > Best Regards, > > Shyam
