Interesting, which platform are you using this on ? SCPI is deprecated for
a while, please switch to SCMI which is well maintained both in terms of
specification and support in the kernel. I also assume this is 64-bit
platform, so I don't want you to get stuck in future because of lack
of some feature in SCPI. Please see if you can migrate to SCMI.
