Few nits - most of which are repeats from existing review comments.
I did have 1 feedback. Functionally, code logic is correct.
To speed things up, I'll provide a conditional R-b if you address the feedback below + fix the the BIT3->to-BIT4 uncore-
flags fix. Others are nits in my book:

Alan: Nit: Perhaps define what disruptive (i.e. the whole memory wiping impact) - aligns with what Rodrigo commented i
think?
Alan: Nit: Might be important for developers debugging issues to state (in comments) that the security FW has been
provided a dynamically allocated memory which is why it MUST be killed on unload (unlike prior Gen SOCs).
Alan: Feedback: I think intel_uncore_set_flr_on_fini should called before gsc_fw_load() (or after but still called if
loading failed with and error indicating the instruction was already sent such as the timeout error, before the bail).
This would be better to ensure a clean slate is set upon unload even if gsc firmware was attempted to get loaded.

Alan: Nit: with the current definition of MTL registers, nothing is wrong with above code but for the sake of code-
intent-readability, perhaps better to use intel_uncore_rmw_fw on above too.

Alan: Fix: yeah - this needs to be 4 - u already caught that.
