"also" usually means that it should go to a separate commit.
I will split this patch to multiple smaller ones.

What's the difference between a result that gets returned by the function and the result that gets retuned via the pointer?
The function result, is local to kernel, for instance memory allocation failure, or failure to issue the smc call. The result in pointer, is the remote result, for instance return value from TA, or the TEE itself.
I'll use better name, e.g. 'remote_result'?
See how this is handled by other parties. For example, PSCI. If you have a standard set of return codes, translate them to -ESOMETHING in your framework and let everybody else see only the standard errors.
I can not hide this return value, they are TA dependent. The client to a TA needs to see it, just knowing that something has failed is not enough in case they need to do something based on that. I can not even translate them as they are TA related so the range is unknown.
I'd say it a sad design. At least error values should be standard.
Sure. But it is normal. If we finally move to TEE subsystem, this is the value that would be copied to struct tee_ioctl_invoke_arg.ret to pass to the caller of TEE_IOC_INVOKE.
