What stops you to have these being binaries?
GUID_INIT() / EFI_GUID_INIT()

Assignment here doesn't make any sense (it just adds unneeded churn and
burden). Same to the rest of similar cases below.

You don't need these. At least for now.

Do you need this casting?

Ditto.

Ditto.

Recently with Hans we realised that this (ACPI_FREE() API) is mostly
for ACPICA use. We may use simple kfree(). Sorry for getting back and
forward.

I'm wondering what will happen if p has less _real data_ than sizeof(cap_hdr)?

It's better to read if you start from MSB part to LSB.

(1)

devm_kasprinf()

Ditto.
Yep, I know about (1), but do your homework and see how you can satisfy both
comments.

Order?

Perhaps PFRU_MAGIC_FOR_IOCTL.
