Hardware bound keys buffer has additional information,

I don't really understand what I should get from this.

It lacks motivation and function of this structure, even
the name of the structure.

Hardware bound key does not mean anything at all without
a context. I don't know what it is.
structure members are:
- flags, flags for hardware specific information.
- key_sz, size of the plain key.
Who cares listing member names?

Formatting here is incorrect and there is no such license in
existence as "GPL-2.0-only".

Should probably be:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ */
/*

 */

Author-field is redundant as it is part of the git metadata.
Also it is inaccurate description of authorship, as a file
can have multiple contributors over time.

This all is documented in
