But not if it's a generic driver that is useful for other confidential

Anything concrete or just hypothetical?

In any case, if this thing is generic, it should not have "AMD" and
"SEV" in the strings.

Also, isn't it a bit weird to depend on CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT but not
use any of its APIs?

Yeah, see above.

Thx.
