Re: [PATCH v3 1/3] powerpc/powernv: Add OPAL API interface to get secureboot state

Hi Nayna,
quoted
I guess I also somewhat object to calling it a 'backend' if we're using
it as a version scheme. I think the skiboot storage backends are true
backends - they provide different implementations of the same
functionality with the same API, but this seems like you're using it to
indicate different functionality. It seems like we're using it as if it
were called OPAL_SECVAR_VERSION.
We are changing how we are exposing the version to the kernel. The 
version will be exposed as device-tree entry rather than a OPAL runtime 
service. We are not tied to the name "backend", we can switch to calling 
it as "scheme" unless there is a better name.
This sounds like a good approach to me.

Kind regards,
Daniel
Thanks & Regards,
