Hi Daniel,
It's not clear this code is getting what it says its getting.
(putting aside for the moment the other feedback)
I think you said you want to know if TME is activated in BIOS. I get that.
You don't want the system to be up and the customer can't tell if they
actually turned on TME or not.
If you only look for MKTME enabled status, you may miss the TME enabled
status. We can have TME on and MKTME off. (Can't have opposite)
Here are the boot message I observe based on BIOS selections:
Select TME-off MKTME-off
[] x86/tme: not enabled by BIOS
Select TME-on MKTME-off
[] x86/tme: enabled by BIOS
[] x86/mktme: No known encryption algorithm is supported: 0x0
[] x86/mktme: disabled by BIOS
Select TME-on MKTME-on
[] x86/tme: enabled by BIOS
[] x86/mktme: enabled by BIOS
[] x86/mktme: 63 KeyIDs available
It's that second case above, (TME_on MKTME-off) that this code seems
to be miss. TME will be enabled, just not MKTME.
