Apparently "watcher," too?

OOBMSM refers to something outside this series?  Oh, I see ... looks
like that's a specific device (PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_VSEC_OOBMSM).

It'd be useful to mention *why* the auxiliary bus is more appropriate.
It's not obvious to me.

What happened to this runtime PM functionality?  Is it no longer
needed when using the auxiliary bus?  I don't see corresponding
functionality there.

"res" looks like an array of resources, not a list, i.e., I don't see
any ->next pointers here.

I guess these are essentially device defects, i.e., TGL advertises
watcher and crashlog via VSEC, but doesn't actually support them?

IIUC, you're implicitly saying that only these listed Device IDs can
have these VSEC capabilities, or at least, that these VSEC-described
features are only supported on these Device IDs.

That's not the way PCI capabilities work in general, so this doesn't
feel like a perfect fit to me, but I guess it's probably the only way
to identify the devices you care about.
