Yes and no. The TEE subsystem has its own memory management code, and
the qcomtee backed driver will utilize it. In other words, qcomtee will
manage its own memory, and tzmem will only be used for drivers that
communicate with QTEE without involving the TEE subsystem.

This aligns with future extensions for FFA memory sharing.
