Since you're going to use this during runtime (are you?), why don't you
put in here the result of:

	ioremap_encrypted(secrets_pa, PAGE_SIZE);

so that you can have it ready and not even have to ioremap each time?

And then you iounmap on driver teardown.

Why is this a separate function if it is called only once and it is
a trivial function at that?

Also, can the driver continue without secrets page?

If not, then you need to unwind.

Yeah, no, you need to error out in snp_init() and not drag it around to
snp_init_platform_device().

Thx.
