When is this not 1 (IOW, you only need this if variable)? How would it
be used outside SCMI (given it has a generic name)?

Yet this doesn't have a generic name. You mentioned on IRC this is
aligned with QCom, but why can't QCom use the same property here?

Really though, why can't you give SCMI a CPUs MPIDR and get its domain?
