Hi Greg, sorry for the previous html email, totally forgot kernel ml was plain text only. Just some feedback regarding the use case for the interface. As you may know the firmware (BIOS/UEFI/coreboot) is growing massively in the last few years. So we have now 32MB of firmware on a normal x86 system. The interface shall be used as safe and secure method to get the first 16MB read-only copy of the firmware. The interface from Intel is read-only so we shouldn't introduce any security issues here. Aside from us there is fwupd.org and another company which are interested in the interface as well. We have added Richard from Redhat to the CC. We use the interface mainly for firmware analysis and TPM PCR pre-calculation features in our SaaS product. I hope that resolves your questions :). Let me know if you want to discuss more. @Hans-Gert can you deliver the documentation, otherwise I can help out.
