Subject: [PATCH v4 13/17] module: Report signature type to users
The upcoming CONFIG_MODULE_HASHES will introduce a signature type.
This needs to be handled by callers differently than PKCS7 signatures.
Report the signature type to the caller and let them verify it.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@...ssschuh.net>
