Please also mention NVMe.
Please change the word "partition" into "unit" to avoid confusion with

How are accesses to this IDA serialized?

Why in units of 128 KiB?

Can an NVMe controller have multiple RPMB units? From the NVMe
specification: "The controller may support multiple RPMB targets."
Can rpmb_dev_find_by_device() be used if multiple RPMB units are
associated with a single controller?

How is user space software supposed to map an NVMe RPMB target ID to an
RPMB device name?
+MODULE_AUTHOR("Intel Corporation");
Shouldn't this be the name of a person instead of the name of a company?
Thanks,
Bart.
