So, at this point in the series we impact lx2160ardb_tfa_stmm which is
the only config in the tree prior to this series that sets
CONFIG_EFI_MM_COMM_TEE. I'm not going to block this series[1] on
updating lx2160ardb_tfa_stmm as well, but I do want to make sure the
maintainers there are aware and can update the config to support the
current state of this technology.
