    SUPPORT.md: Describe SCMI-SMC layer feature
    
    Describe the layer which enables SCMI over SMC calls forwarding
    to EL3 FW if issued by the Hardware domain. If the SCMI firmware
    node is not found in the Host DT during initialization, it fails
    silently as it's not mandatory.
    
    The SCMI SMCs trapping at EL2 now lets hwdom perform SCMI ops for
    interacting with system-level resources almost as if it would be
    running natively.

+### Arm: SCMI over SMC calls forwarding to EL3 Firmware
+
+Enable SCMI calls using SMC as doorbell mechanism and Shared Memory for
+transport ("arm,scmi-smc" compatible only) to reach EL3 Firmware if issued
+by hwdom. Some platforms use SCMI for access to system-level resources.
