Trusted Application.

+The TEE kernel interface
+========================
+
+Kernel provides a TEE bus infrastructure where a Trusted Application is
+represented as a device identified via Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and
+client drivers register a table of supported device UUIDs.
+
+TEE bus infrastructure registers following APIs:
+- match(): iterates over the client driver UUID table to find a corresponding
+ match for device UUID. If a match is found, then this particular device is
+ probed via corresponding probe API registered by the client driver. This
+ process happens whenever a device or a client driver is registered with TEE
+ bus.
+- uevent(): notifies user-space (udev) whenever a new device is registered on
+ TEE bus for auto-loading of modularized client drivers.
+
+TEE bus device enumeration is specific to underlying TEE implementation, so it
+is left open for TEE drivers to provide corresponding implementation.
+
+Then TEE client driver can talk to a matched Trusted Application using APIs
+listed in include/linux/tee_drv.h.

+OP-TEE device enumeration
+-------------------------
+
+OP-TEE provides a pseudo Trusted Application: drivers/tee/optee/device.c in
+order to support device enumeration. In other words, OP-TEE driver invokes this
+application to retrieve a list of Trusted Applications which can be registered
+as devices on the TEE bus.
