[PATCH 4/7] crypto: ccp - Factor out the release of the SEV firmware buffers

From: Pratik R. Sampat

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 13:31:50 EST


__sev_firmware_shutdown() reclaims and frees the TMR and the INIT_EX NV
area once the platform has been taken down. Move that into a helper so
that other paths which de-initialize the platform can reuse the same
path.

No functional change intended.
