+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] firmware: arm_ffa: setting the FFA_VERSION compatibility
+ checks
+
+This commit aligns the FF-A versions checks according to the
+FF-A specification v1.0.
+
+The compatibility of the version number (x.y) of the caller with
+the version number (a.b) of the callee can be defined as:
+
+    If x == a and y <= b, then the versions are compatible.
+    Otherwise, versions are incompatible.
