Enabling the kernel feature itself won't create any security concerns; it's only if TF-A has the feature enabled is there a risk introduced.

"A closed platform" is a very abstract and opaque term. The TF-A
threat model doesn't cover any Linux kernel attack vectors as I
mentioned above.

These are the bits I am looking to be documented which mentions the
kernel attack vectors and corresponding mitigations for ChromeOS. It
would be helpful for other platform owners if the threat model sounds
fine to them and choose to enable this feature. Also, it would give
clarity regarding how this feature is being enabled for a real
platform use-case.

The threat model for a particular platform component is essentially a
checklist which must be considered during system integration.

That's true. In case there is platform security documentation
available for ChromeOS platform publicly which covers attack vectors
for every component, that would work for me.
