[PATCH v5 01/12] platform/x86/intel/pmt: fix a crashlog NULL pointer access

Usage of the intel_pmt_read() for binary sysfs, requires a pcidev. The
current use of the endpoint value is only valid for telemetry endpoint
usage.

Without the ep, the crashlog usage causes the following NULL pointer
exception:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:intel_pmt_read+0x3b/0x70 [pmt_class]
Code:
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 ? sysfs_kf_bin_read+0xc0/0xe0
 kernfs_fop_read_iter+0xac/0x1a0
 vfs_read+0x26d/0x350

 __x64_sys_read+0x1d/0x30
 x64_sys_call+0x1bc8/0x1d70
 do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x110

Augment struct intel_pmt_entry with a pointer to the pcidev to avoid
the NULL pointer exception.
