Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: asymmetric_keys - simplify asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 20:52:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251007185220.234611-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251007185220.234611-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Use struct_size() to calculate the number of bytes to allocate for the
asymmetric key id. Add a local variable to store the hex data length
instead of recalculating it.
The variable 'ret', whose name implies a return variable, is only used
to temporarily store the result of __asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id(). Use
the result directly and remove the local variable.
No functional changes.
