[PATCH 1/3] platform/x86: intel: Move debugfs register before creating devices

[Srinivas Pandruvada]

It is possible that the driver handling device is enumerated before
registering debugfs. If the driver wants to access debugfs by calling
tpmi_get_debugfs_dir(), this will return error in this case.

Hence register debugfs before creating devices.

[PATCH 2/3] platform/x86: intel: Add notifiers support

[Srinivas Pandruvada]

In some cases a driver using services of vsec_tpmi driver requires some
processing before vsec_tpmi exits. For example a children using debugfs
can't use debugfs as this will be deleted by the vsec_tpmi driver.

This is the case when unbind using PCI driver interface. In this case
the remove callback of vsec_tpmi driver is called first, then remove
callback of its children.

Add support of blocking chain notifiers support. Notify on successful probe
and before clean up in the remove callback.

[PATCH 3/3] platform/x86/intel/tpmi/plr: Prevent fault during unbind

[Srinivas Pandruvada]

This driver faults when intel vsec driver unbound from PCI driver
interface. For example:

echo 0000:00:03.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vsec/unbind

This is caused by accessing plr->dbgfs_dir after vsec_tpmi driver is
removed. Here vsec_tpmi driver is the parent. On unbind, the parent
device remove callback is called first which here will remove debugfs
interface. Hence plr->dbgfs_dir is no longer valid.

Register notifier for TPMI_CORE_EXIT and make this pointer to NULL,
so that debugfs_remove_recursive() is not called with bad plr->dbgfs_dir
pointer.

After notifier is returned the vsec_tpmi driver will call remove debugfs
by calling debugfs_remove_recursive().

Extra whitespace.

Move the comment slightly more right as there's place.

This lacks pairing destroy, but you can probably use devm_mutex_init() as 
there's devm_*() below.
