+ help
+ This loads the BL32 image for OP-TEE as firmware when the driver is
+ probed. This returns -EPROBE_DEFER until the firmware is loadable from
+ the filesystem which is determined by checking the system_state until
+ it is in SYSTEM_RUNNING. This also requires enabling the corresponding
+ option in Trusted Firmware for Arm. The documentation there explains
+ the security threat associated with enabling this as well as
+ mitigations at the firmware and platform level.
