IMHO, the IMA relevant thing would be into IMA tree,
However I think this patch would be much easier to sync into Sudeep's
FF-A tree where ff-a initilisation is reverted to device_initcall
unless you're uncomfortable.

For this, It might be better to split this patch from this series
since by above and defer probe of ff-a would make a register failure
of registering tpm_crb_ffa driver which is built-in.

@Sudeep what do you think?
