[PATCH v4 0/3] platform/x86: think-lmi: ThinkCenter certificate

[Mark Pearson]

Patch series to implement certificate based authentication on
ThinkCenter platforms

Patch 1 introduce a certificate GUID structure to make it easier to
support different GUIDs for certificate authentication
Patch 2 implements the changes needed to support ThinkCenter platforms
Patch 3 adds some extra error message handling as used on ThinkCenter
platforms.

Tested on M75q Gen 5

Mark Pearson (3):
  platform/x86: think-lmi: Add certificate GUID structure
  platform/x86: think-lmi: Certificate support for ThinkCenter
  platform/x86: think-lmi: Add extra TC BIOS error messages

[PATCH v4 1/3] platform/x86: think-lmi: Add certificate GUID structure

[Mark Pearson]

Add a certificate GUID structure to make it easier to add different
options for other platforms that need different GUIDs.

Suggested-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>
Signed-off-by: Mark Pearson <mpearson-lenovo@squebb.ca>

Changes in v2:
 - split patch up into series
Changes in v3:
 - add field details to thinkpad_cert_guid declare.
 - add missing comma
 - Move null thumbprint GUID check to later in series
Changes in v4:
 - Moved cert_guid into tlmi_priv
 - applied const where needed

[PATCH v4 2/3] platform/x86: think-lmi: Certificate support for ThinkCenter

[Mark Pearson]

ThinkCenter platforms use a different set of GUIDs along with some
differences in implementation details for their support of
certificate based authentication.

Update the think-lmi driver to work correctly on these platforms.

Tested on M75q Gen 5.

Changes in v2:
 - split patch up into series
Changes in v3:
 - Move check for no thumbprint GUID to this patch
 - Add structure fields and missing comma
Changes in v4:
 - Moved cert_guid into tlmi_priv
 - applied const where needed

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
