I wish I was CC'ed on that. Now LKML seems too busy to forward it.

You say in the cover letter :
"Let me begin admitting that we are introducing yet another protocol to
achieve same things as many existing protocols like ARM SCPI, TI SCI,
QCOM RPM, Nvidia Tegra BPMP, and so on"

 So SCMI is supposed to replace SCPI, SCI, RPM and BPMP   or   SCMI is
to be used for future platforms.
If SCPI and SCMI achieve the same, why have them both active simultaneously?

Assuming there really is some sane excuse :-
    SCPI and SCMI are two separate client working over an MHU channel.
So, as is the case with users relying on a common resource, you need a
shim arbitrator that serialises access to the resource.
