Platform and agent supported protocols versions do not necessarily match. When talking to an older SCMI platform, supporting only older protocol versions, the kernel SCMI agent will downgrade the version of the used protocol to match the platform and avoid compatibility issues. In the case where the kernel/OSPM agent happens to communicate with a newer platform which can support newer protocol versions unknown to the agent, and potentially backward incompatible, the agent currently carries on, silently, in a best-effort approach. Note that the SCMI specification doesn't provide means to explicitly detect the protocol versions used by the agents, neither it is required to support multiple, older, protocol versions. Add an explicit protocol version check to let the agent detect when this version mismatch happens and warn the user about this condition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
