Hi Nayna,

In order to verify the OS kernel on PowerNV systems, secure boot requires
X.509 certificates trusted by the platform. These are stored in secure
variables controlled by OPAL, called OPAL secure variables. In order to
enable users to manage the keys, the secure variables need to be exposed
to userspace.

Are you planning to split the patches in this patch set into smaller 
chunks so that it is easier to code review and also perhaps make it 
easier when merging the changes?

I don't think splitting them would add any value. They're already split
into the firmware specific bits (patch 1), and the sysfs parts (patch
2), which is sufficient for me.

cheers
