[PATCH 3/3] efi: Limit Shim's Verify success to EFI_SUCCESS
Posted by Gerald Elder-Vass 2 days, 22 hours ago
Commit 59a1d6d3ea1e replaced the Verify status check with
!EFI_ERROR(...), this changed the behaviour to consider any warnings
(EFI_WARN_) to be considered a successful verification.

This commit reverts that behaviour change.
