[v3,2/2] drivers/char: Use sub-page ro API to make just xhci dbc cap RO

Not the whole page, which may contain other registers too. The XHCI
specification describes DbC as designed to be controlled by a different
driver, but does not mandate placing registers on a separate page. In fact
on Tiger Lake and newer (at least), this page do contain other registers
that Linux tries to use. And with share=yes, a domU would use them too.
Without this patch, PV dom0 would fail to initialize the controller,
while HVM would be killed on EPT violation.

With `share=yes`, this patch gives domU more access to the emulator
(although a HVM with any emulated device already has plenty of it). This
configuration is already documented as unsafe with untrusted guests and
not security supported.

Since you mention "share=no" here, wouldn't you then better also update the
respective struct field, even if (right now) there may be nothing subsequently
using that? Except that dbc_ensure_running() actually is looking at it, and
that's not an __init function.

It's been a long time since v2 and the description doesn't say anything in
this regard: Is there a reason not to retain the rangeset addition alongside
the pci_ro_device() on the fallback path?

That case is just an optimization - if pci_ro_device() is used, nobody
else could write to PCI_COMMAND behind the driver backs, so there is no
point checking. Anyway, yes, makes sense to adjust dbc->share too.

pci_ro_device() prevents device from being assigned to domU at all, so
that case is covered already. Dom0 would fail to load any driver (if
nothing else - because it can't size the BARs with R/O config space), so
a _well behaving_ Dom0 would also not touch the device in this case.
But otherwise, yes, it makes sense keep adding to mmio_ro_ranges in the
fallback path.
