Is old hardware going to support this in the future?

Name is not the best we can come up with. Would anyone else use PMT?
Would it be vendor-agnostic ABI?
(For example, I know that MIPI standardizes tracing protocols, like
STM, do we have any plans to standardize this one?)

I think user should understand what is it from the title (hint: spell
PMT fully).

Keep this and Kconfig section in order with the other stuff.

Shouldn't be part of MFD header?

So, it's not a GUID but rather some custom number? Can we actually do
a real GUID / UUID here?
Because of TODO below I suppose it's not carved in stone (yet) and
basically a protocol defined by firmware (which can be amended).

So, please, fulfill. swnode I guess is what you are looking for.

err or ret? Be consistent in the module.

Extra blank line.

Better to attach to the respective functions.

There is no user of this below, but types.h has users here.

If it's part of hardware communication, shouldn't be rather __uXX
types to show that this is part of protocol between software and
hardware?
