Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] platform/x86/intel/vsec: Prep for ACPI PMT discovery

This series updates intel_vsec to improve const-correctness, decouple
helper APIs from PCI, enhance error handling, and plumb ACPI-based Intel
Platform Monitoring Technology (PMT) discovery through the vsec layer. It
is preparatory infrastructure for follow-on PMT core/telemetry and
PMC/SSRAM series that add ACPI discovery and support for new platforms.

The series is organized as follows:

Patches 1-2 refactor and improve const-correctness of base_addr handling.
Patch 1 makes base_addr an explicit parameter throughout the call chain,
clarifying ownership and removing conditional logic. Patch 2 then makes the
platform info data structure read-only, preventing unintended modifications
to shared driver data.

Patches 3-4 decouple the vsec layer from PCI-specific types, updating
helper APIs and data structures to use generic struct device instead of
struct pci_dev.  This enables vsec to work with both PCI and ACPI parent
devices.

Patch 5 enhances error visibility by returning meaningful error codes from
the registration path instead of collapsing to boolean success/failure.

Patch 6 adds infrastructure for ACPI-based PMT discovery, allowing client
drivers to consume discovery data from either PCI or ACPI sources.

David E. Box (6):
  platform/x86/intel/vsec: Refactor base_addr handling
  platform/x86/intel/vsec: Make driver_data info const
  platform/x86/intel/vsec: Decouple add/link helpers from PCI
  platform/x86/intel/vsec: Switch exported helpers from pci_dev to
    device
  platform/x86/intel/vsec: Return real error codes from registration
    path
  platform/x86/intel/vsec: Plumb ACPI PMT discovery tables through vsec
