Refer to section "8) Commenting" of Documentation/process/coding-
style.rst for the format of multi line comments.

Unless you're changing the meaning of the restriction, then a new
restriction needs to be defined.  In this case, please don't change the
meaning of restrict_link_by_builtin_trusted().  Instead define a new
restriction named restrict_link_by_builtin_and_ca_trusted().

Similarly here, please define a new restriction maybe named
restrict_link_by_builtin_secondary_and_ca_trusted().   To avoid code
duplication, the new restriction could be a wrapper around the existing
function.

>From the thread discussion on 00/12:

Only the builtin keys should ever be on the builtin keyring.  The
builtin keyring would need to be linked to the mok keyring.  But in the
secondary keyring case, the mok keyring would be linked to the
secondary keyring, similar to how the builtin keyring is linked to the
secondary keyring.

        if (key_link(secondary_trusted_keys, builtin_trusted_keys) < 0)
                panic("Can't link trusted keyrings\n");
