LLM has the following comments:

 1. Metadata buffer (ctx->ptr) is leaked, and overwritten on
reload, because qcom_pas_metadata_release() is never called
(patches 1-6)
 2. devm_qcom_pas_context_alloc() is called from repeatable runtime
paths, so contexts accumulate until unbind (patches 2, 3, 4, 6)
 3. use_tzmem is never set, so the shmbridge prepare step never
runs on SCM and the commit messages are inaccurate; TEE gets
a real mem_phys/mem_size change
 4. Not bisectable: patch 4 relies on the NULL mem_region
handling that only arrives in patch 7
 5. Patches 3 and 4 don't apply to this tree; iris
iris_detect_firmware() still needs mem_virt after the load;
the base of the series is not stated
 6. Patch 7: NULL mem_region now means "map internally", which
weakens the -EINVAL sanity check
 7. Patch 6: redundant second ioremap_wc() on top of ath12k's
persistent memremap()
 8. Patch 6: ctx is set under one scm_auth_enabled check and
used under another, which is fragile
 9. Patch 2: the context now carries the full region size instead of
the MDT size, which matters if use_tzmem gets enabled
10. Patch 3: stale qcom_mdt_load() comments remain in
iris_firmware.c
11. Patch 8: no issues found
