Open Profile for DICE is a secret derivation protocol used by some
Android devices. The firmware/bootloader generates the secrets and hands
them over to Linux in a reserved memory region.
This patchset adds the corresponding DeviceTree bindings and a driver
that takes ownership of the memory region and exposes it to userspace
via a character device. It is currently under drivers/misc but perhaps
a better location would be drivers/firmware. Let me know what you think.
The patches are based on top of v5.16-rc4 and can also be found here:

Add DeviceTree bindings for Open Profile for DICE. DICE is a protocol
for deriving Compound Device Identifier (CDI) certificates. These are
generated by the firmware/bootloader and stored in memory. Location of
the buffer is described as a reserved memory region referenced by
a compatible DICE device node.

Open Profile for DICE is a protocol for deriving unique secrets at boot,
used by some Android devices. The firmware/bootloader hands over secrets
in a reserved memory region, this driver takes ownership of the memory
region and exposes it to userspace via a character device that
lets userspace mmap the memory region into its process.
The character device can only be opened once at any given time.
Userspace can issue an ioctl requesting that the memory be wiped after
the current FD is released. In that case, the driver will clear
the buffer and refuse to open any new FDs.

Why? That should not matter. And your code (correctly), does not check
for that. So why say that here?

Please just use the misc_device api, no need to try to claim a major
number for just one device node. That will simplify your code a lot as
well.

Wrong error value for invalid ioctl.
And why do these have to be ioctls at all? I guess sysfs could be used,
but if you are comfortable with ioctls, that's fine.

Never create a class and reserve things like this, if you do not even
know if your hardware is present or not. That just wastes resources.
Only allocate it if your device probes properly.
And again, moving to a misc_device makes this all much simpler and your
whole init function can go away.

It does check - open() returns -EBUSY if cmpxchg of the state from READY
to BUSY fails. I agree this is a bit unconventional but it makes things
easier to reason about. With multiple open FDs the driver would have to
wait for all of them to get released before wiping, so one user could
block the wiping requested by others by holding the FD indefinitely.
And wiping despite other open FDs seems wrong, too. Is there a better
way of doing this?

Ok, I'll look into it.

There is nothing else preventing writes, the reserved memory is just plain
old RAM.

Yes, totally ignore it from the kernel point of view. You don't know
what userspace just did with that FD the kernel gave it, it could have
sent it across a pipe, run dup() on it, or any sort of other things.
Just rely on open/release to know when the device is opened, and then
when that instance is released. If userspace wants to do looney things,
and oddities happen, that's userspace's problem, not yours :)

And you can rely on this check only? Nothing else needed with mmap?
And why can't userspace write to this? What's wrong with that
happening?

AFAICT vm_iomap_memory takes care of it. It will allow a MAP_PRIVATE
mapping of a read-only FD but not a MAP_SHARED one. I think that gives
nice guarantees to userspace that if a process opens the char device itself,
it's getting the original data, not something another process wrote there.
