Yes, I agree


Today the "TA" drivers are bound without any node...

So phandle support is not possible.


But the driver for TA can be associated to the OP-TEE node with the 
simple patch

=> the RNG provide by TA RNG in OP-TEE is accessible with a phandle to 
optee,

       for example:


     firmware {
         optee: optee {
             method = "smc";
             compatible = "linaro,optee-tz";
         };

     };

board-sysinfo {
    compatible = "vendor,sysinfo-board";
    ramdom = <&optee>;
}

I don't know the full driver model support for PCI but it seens

the compatible is optional.

=> doc/develop/driver-model/pci-info.rst

"If PCI devices are not listed in the device tree, U_BOOT_PCI_DEVICE can 
be used

to specify the driver to use for the device."

with my proposal, subnode is not needed

if only one instance of each UCLASS is exported by OP-TEE.


we can identify the handle with the parent node = optee.

we don't need to modify the kernel device tree.


I just test it

      aliases {
          i2c3 = &i2c4;
          rng1 = &optee;
      };


With OP-TEE providing RNG and without discovery.

and phandle is working to force sequence number

   STM32MP> dm uclass

   ...

   uclass 83: rng
   0     optee-rng @ dbb4b230, seq 1
   ...


if you think it is a good idea I can push this patch.

Even I don't sure that solve all the issues.

Patrick
