Subject: [PATCH 2/4] public keys: make key_name_hint optional
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 12:54:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527-public-keys-v1-2-c87a1cc61d1b@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527-public-keys-v1-0-c87a1cc61d1b@pengutronix.de>

The key_name_hint is merely a hint which key might fit and as such
it should be optional for a key. In keytoc.c only set it when it has
meaningful content and test for non NULL in barebox before dereferencing
it.
