I won't say you are wrong but the reason why it's named arm_scpi is because the protocol was developed by ARM. It doesnn't mean only ARM/ARM64 needs to use it, it can be used on any architecture for inter-processor communication using any communication technique (currently mailbox is the only supported in the driver)
