 		OP-TEE bus provides reference to registered drivers under this directory. The <uuid>
 		matches Trusted Application (TA) driver and corresponding TA in secure OS. Drivers
 		are free to create needed API under optee-ta-<uuid> directory.

+Description:
+		Allows to distinguish whether an OP-TEE based TA/device requires user-space
+		tee-supplicant to function properly or not. This attribute will be present for
