qcom_mdt_pas_load() passes the ctx to qcom_pas_init_image(), which keeps
the metadata buffer in ctx->ptr, and qcom_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset()
does not free it. Who is expected to call qcom_pas_metadata_release()
for iris? I don't see it called after authentication (or on its
failure), unlike in qcom_q6v5_pas.c.

ctx->use_tzmem is not set for iris, so the shmbridge creation in
qcom_scm_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset() is skipped and the behaviour is
the same as the old qcom_pas_auth_and_reset(). Please reword the commit
message accordingly, since it currently implies that the prepare step is
now performed by the new API as a fix.
