According to the FF-A spec (Buffer states and ownership), after a producer has written into a buffer, it is "full" and now owned by the consumer. The producer won't be able to use that buffer, until the consumer hands it over with an invocation such as RX_RELEASE. It is clear in the following paragraph (Transfer of buffer ownership), that MEM_RETRIEVE_RESP is transferring the ownership from producer (in our case SPM) to consumer (hypervisor). RX_RELEASE is therefore mandatory here. It is less clear though what is happening with MEM_FRAG_TX. But this invocation, as a response to MEM_FRAG_RX writes into the same hypervisor RX buffer (see paragraph "Transmission of transaction descriptor in fragments"). Also this is matching the TF-A implementation where the RX buffer is marked "full" during a MEM_FRAG_RX. Release the RX hypervisor buffer in those two cases. This will unblock later invocations using this buffer which would otherwise fail. (RETRIEVE_REQ, MEM_FRAG_RX and PARTITION_INFO_GET).
