Yes this seems to work. I still think it is a bit clunky, but after
documenting it I think it is clear enough. I also played with making it a bit
more straight forward with the macro names.

Here is the doc:

/**
* DOC: PKS_KEY_ALLOCATION
*
* Users reserve a key value in 5 steps.
* 1) Use PKS_NEW_KEY to create a new key
* 2) Ensure that the last key value is used in the PKS_NEW_KEY macro
* 3) Adjust PKS_KEY_MAX to use the newly defined key value
* 4) Use PKS_DECLARE_INIT_VALUE to define an initial value
* 5) Add the new PKS default value to PKS_INIT_VALUE
*
* The PKS_NEW_KEY and PKS_DECLARE_INIT_VALUE macros require the Kconfig
* option to be specified to automatically adjust the number of keys used.
*
* PKS_KEY_DEFAULT must remain 0 (prev = 0) key with a default of
* PKS_DECLARE_DEFAULT_RW support non-pks protected pages.
*
* For example to configure a key for 'MY_FEATURE' with a default of Write
* Disabled.
*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* #define PKS_KEY_DEFAULT PKS_NEW_KEY(0, 1)
*
* // 1) Add PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE
* // 2) Be sure to use the last defined key in the macro
* #define PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE PKS_NEW_KEY(PKS_KEY_DEFAULT, CONFIG_MY_FEATURE)
*
* // 3) Adjust PKS_KEY_MAX
* #define PKS_KEY_MAX PKS_NEW_KEY(PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE, 1)
*
*
* #define PKS_KEY_DEFAULT_INIT PKS_DECLARE_INIT_VALUE(PKS_KEY_DEFAULT, RW, 1)
*
* // 4) Define initial value
* #define PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE_INIT PKS_DECLARE_INIT_VALUE(PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE, WD, CONFIG_MY_FEATURE)
*
* // 5) Add initial value to PKS_INIT_VALUE
* #define PKS_INIT_VALUE ((PKS_ALL_AD & (GENMASK(31, PKS_KEY_MAX * PKR_BITS_PER_PKEY))) | \
* PKS_KEY_DEFAULT_INIT | \
* PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE_INIT | \
* )
*/

Let me know if this is clear enough?
