Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] KEYS: trusted: Open code tpm2_buf_append()
Date: Fri,  5 Dec 2025 17:19:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205151955.298182-4-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251205151955.298182-1-jarkko@kernel.org>

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@opinsys.com>

tpm2_buf_append_auth() has only single call site and most of its parameters
are redundant. Open code it to the call site. Remove illegit FIXME comment
as there is no categorized bug and replace it with more sane comment about
implementation (i.e. "non-opionated inline comment").
