If you are writing "Also ..." into a commit message and the
changes for the "Also ..." are more then a single line change,
then that change really should be split out into a separate patch.

Please split the "move ifs_pkg_auth to a global" changes into their
own separate patch.

This is a description of the specific capabilties / bits of
the IFS on e.g. Saphire Rapids, so please name this appropriately
for example:

struct ifs_hw_caps  {
	int	integrity_cap_bit;
	int	test_num;
};

You got this exactly the wrong way around, there should be a single

static const struct ifs_hw_caps saphire_rapids_caps = {
	.integrity_cap_bit = MSR_INTEGRITY_CAPS_PERIODIC_BIST_BIT,
	.test_num = 0,
};

And then struct ifs_device { } should have a "const struct ifs_hw_caps *hw_caps"
which gets initialized to point to &saphire_rapids_caps. So that your const
data is actually const.

Where as since the r/w data's lifetime is couple to the misc-device lifetime
there is no need to dynamically allocate it just keep that embedded, so that
together you get:

struct ifs_device {
	const struct ifs_hw_caps *hw_caps;
	struct ifs_data data;
	struct miscdevice misc;
};

Hans
