Please explain what these things are in the commit log, the config help
and the comment at the top of the driver - it'll make things easier for
people later.

That's an awfully generic name. intel_txt would be better.

Expected to be or is? :)

You're adding it to ABI, so it shouldn't just be current - are you
planning on moving it at any point? Is this functionality that should be
under securityfs instead?

This will register even if there's no TXT support on the platform,
right? Is there no mechanism for determining whether a platform has TXT
support before registering a device?

And you've got no module aliases, so this will never be autoloaded. How
does the OS know that the platform implements TXT?
