Subject: [PATCH 0/2] efi: cosmetic patches for the error messages when loading certificates

When loading certificates list from EFI variables, the error
message and efi status code always be emitted to dmesg. It looks
ugly:

[ 2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT
[ 2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list

This cosmetic patch set moved the above messages to the error
handling code path. And, it adds a function to transfer EFI status
code to string to improve the readability of debug log. The function
can also be used in other EFI log.

Lee, Chun-Yi (2):
efi: add a function for transferring status to string
efi: show error messages only when loading certificates is failed

I think I mentioned this the last time you sent this patch: by making
this a static inline, those strings will be copied into each object
file that uses this routine.
Instead, please make it an ordinary function.

Sorry for I just sent a old version patch. I will send a new one.

Thanks a lot!
