[PATCH v5 2/6] virt: tdx-guest: Give the Quote buffer an explicit type

From: Peter Fang

Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 06:11:55 EST


The Quote buffer is always a "struct tdx_quote_buf", but its global
pointer is a "void *". A function would have to convert it back to make
sense of it.

Declare the global with its actual type, and give it a better name.

This creates variable shadowing in wait_for_quote_completion(), so
rename its parameter for clarity.

AI was used under supervision to collect/apply feedback, review code and
workshop logs.
