Should sev-guest also call snp_setup_psp_messaging() ?

As per the current design:
* snp_secure_tsc_prepare populates platform_data (probably I should rename it snp_prepare_psp_messaging)
* In snp_init_platform_device() platform_data is copied using platform_device_add_data().

sev-guest driver in sev_guest_probe() uses this platform_data populated by snp_secure_tsc_prepare().

I understand what you are suggesting, let me think over this and I will come back.

> The sev_guest_platform_data struct can just hold context information (it doesn't need the secrets_gpa any more since everything is now in sev.c which knows what that value is) for whatever is using guest messaging.

We are using snp_assign_vmpck() in the sev-guest driver that is dependent on secrets_gpa, we can get rid of that dependency I think.

Yes, that correct. I will implement full support for CC_ATTR_GUEST_SECURE_TSC in this patch.
