firmware: arm_scmi: Relax base protocol sanity checks on the protocol list
Even though malformed replies from firmware must be treated carefully to avoid memory corruption in the kernel, some out-of-spec SCMI replies can be tolerated to avoid breaking existing deployed system, as long as they won't cause memory issues. Relax the sanity checks on the recieved protocol list in the base protocol to avoid breaking one of the deployed platform whose firmware is not easily upgradable currently.
