[PATCH v6 14/15] platform/x86/intel/pmc/ssram: Make PMT registration optional

From: David E. Box

Date: Sun May 31 2026 - 15:48:48 EST


The SSRAM telemetry driver extracts essential PMC device ID and power
management base address information that intel_pmc_core depends on for core
functionality. If PMT registration failure prevents this critical data from
being available, intel_pmc_core operation would break entirely. Therefore,
PMT registration failures must not block access to this data.

Change the behavior to log a warning when PMT registration fails but
continue with successful driver initialization, ensuring the primary
telemetry data remains accessible to dependent drivers.

V6 - No changes

V5 - No changes

V4 - No changes

V3 changes:
- Dropped the standalone cleanup-pattern patch from this refreshed
series retaining the simpler ssram pointer flow requested in review.
- Folded PMT-registration-optional handling onto that simpler flow
with no intended functional change.

V2 changes:
- Update commit message for clarity
- Also apply the PCI telemetry path
