The preferred ordering of variable declarations at the beginning of a
function is reverse fir tree order::

struct long_struct_name *descriptive_name;
unsigned long foo, bar;
unsigned int tmp;
int ret;

That enable_sgx_any use looks weird. You can get rid of it:

if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_SGX) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_SGX)) {
enable_sgx_driver = cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_SGX_LC);
enable_sgx_kvm = enable_vmx && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_SGX_KVM);
}

and yap, let longer lines stick out.

Thx.
