Subject: [PATCH 04/40] efi/arm64: Report unexpected errors when determining Secure Boot status

From: Linn Crosetto <linn@....com>

Certain code in the boot path may require the ability to determine whether
UEFI Secure Boot is definitely enabled, for example printing status to the
console. Other code may need to know when UEFI Secure Boot is definitely
disabled, for example restricting use of kernel parameters.

If an unexpected error is returned from GetVariable() when querying the
status of UEFI Secure Boot, return an error to the caller. This allows the
caller to determine the definite state, and to take appropriate action if
an expected error is returned.
