For some reason that I can't explain that is still not working. It seems
the SMC call is returning !0 and then we return -EINVAL from there
with qcom_scm_remap_error().

Here's a really crummy diff of what I hacked in during lunch to debug (don't
judge my primitive debug skills):

And that all spams dmesg successfully for most cases, but the
pas_init_image calls log this out:

At the moment I am unsure why...
