Subject: [PATCH 2/3] tools/bootconfig: Consolidate xbc_init() to error message wrapper
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:53:53 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178896923375.177508.14682854552827605824.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178896921555.177508.434402948295885560.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Use init_xbc_with_error() for all bootconfig initialization in the
bootconfig tool instead of showing errors in different way.
This simplifies the code logic and make it easy to maintain.
