Hmm, the op-tee itself must keep secure, but the psci part in it can be 
extracted to public, although it may have a bit of secure risk.
Due to Rockchip have amended the frame of op-tee to support psci, we can 
try to upstream these changes to official op-tee or push them to source 
codes of Rockchip in git-hub.

I just want to make sure, people can actually create a working system
with this, as there is mainline u-boot support for the rk3228/rk3229 in
the works - hopefully also with SPL support later on.
So I'm wondering how this is supposed to be setup?

On arm64 we now have the SPL load the ATF, which in turn loads uboot, so I 
guess the mechanism for the op-tee would be somehow similar? And there all 
necessary components are available to build everything from source.

I really don't care about all the other super-secret stuff happening in
that op-tee thingy, but I really want people to be able to build a complete
firmware on their machine, without having to rely on arbitary binary blobs.

Which is something companies adopting Rockchip socs seem to rely on
a lot these days ;-) .


One alternative I can think of, would be to also create a u-boot psci 
implementation for arm32, like sunxi [0] and others use for example.
That way people could choose where their psci should come from (u-boot
itself or the op-tee).

No. The kernel only depends on PSCI. Anyone can implement PSCI firmware
through
OPTEE/Trusty/U-Boot/UEFI or other open source implementation. We don't limit
people use vendor software or not. As Frank said, we will open source
OPTEE which
support PSCI for our chips.
BTW people can implement SMP/suspend function builtin in kernel as
usual. We just
hope use PSCI by default, so we can support TEE more easy as arm64.

That is great to hear. In Franks mail yesterday it didn't sound that certain 
yet :-) . 
I really only want to make sure people can build a complete firmware from 
source. Without having to rely on binary stuff.

So if you're going to release the op-tee variant for it, we should be fine.

As I've also ordered one of the rk3229 tv-boxes for my boardfarm, do you
have any timeframe for that? [Sorry for being pushy :-) ].

Yep, having smp in firmware is quite nice, as seen on arm64. So I definitly 
encourage this, instead of doing the "legacy" smp option in the kernel.
