13     minor versions of the device tree binding for the FFA manifest represented
14     by this node. The minor number is incremented if the binding changes in a
15     backwards compatible manner.

31   - value type: <prop-encoded-array>
32   - An array consisting of 4 <u32> values, identifying the UUID of the service
33     implemented by this partition. The UUID format is described in RFC 4122.

111      - Bit[1]: partition can send direct requests if set
112      - Bit[2]: partition can send and receive indirect messages
113
114- managed-exit
115   - value type: <empty>
116   - Specifies if managed exit is supported.

128
129   - This field supersedes the managed-exit field in the FF-A v1.0 spec.
130
131- has-primary-scheduler
132   - value type: <empty>
133   - Presence of this field indicates that the partition implements the primary
134     scheduler. If so, run-time EL must be EL1.
135

142
143- time-slice-mem
144   - value type: <empty>
145   - Presence of this field indicates that the partition doesn't expect the
146     partition manager to time slice long running memory management functions.
147
148- gp-register-num
149   - value type: <u32>
150   - The field specifies the general purpose register number but not its width.
151     The width is derived from the partition's execution state, as specified in
152     the partition properties. For example, if the number value is 1 then the
153     general-purpose register used will be x1 in AArch64 state and w1 in AArch32
154     state.
155     Presence of this field indicates that the partition expects the address of
156     the FF-A boot information blob to be passed in the specified general purpose
157     register.
158
159- stream-endpoint-ids
160   - value type: <prop-encoded-array>
