A directory per vid and files for each protocol sounds good to me.
I'll update the patch to do that. If anyone doesn't like that idea let
me know

I agree that's my expectation as well.

Fair enough, thanks for letting me know

I think we will need to at least expose a few parts of SPDM to
userspace. It could either be the kernel passing data back (like the
measurements for example) or userspace orchestrating the
communication. That's a future problem at the moment though
