Re: [PATCH v4 1/5] powerpc: Refactor kexec functions to move arch independent code to IMA

I just noticed that this function is only called from within
ima_kexec.c, so it can be made static.

+{
+	int ret, len;
+	unsigned long tmp_addr;
+	size_t tmp_size;
+	const void *prop;
+
+	prop = of_get_property(of_chosen, FDT_PROP_IMA_KEXEC_BUFFER, &len);
+	if (!prop)
+		return -ENOENT;
+
+	ret = do_get_kexec_buffer(prop, len, &tmp_addr, &tmp_size);
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
+
+	*addr = __va(tmp_addr);
+	*size = tmp_size;
+
+	return 0;
+}

+/**

+int ima_free_kexec_buffer(void)

This one can be static as well.

+{
+	int ret;
+	unsigned long addr;
+	size_t size;
+	struct property *prop;
+
+	prop = of_find_property(of_chosen, FDT_PROP_IMA_KEXEC_BUFFER, NULL);
+	if (!prop)
+		return -ENOENT;
+
+	ret = do_get_kexec_buffer(prop->value, prop->length, &addr, &size);
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
+
+	ret = of_remove_property(of_chosen, prop);
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
+
+	return memblock_free(addr, size);
+
+}

 #ifdef CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC
 static int ima_dump_measurement_list(unsigned long *buffer_size, void **buffer,
