Subject: [PATCH 3/6] binman: x509: fix CN emitted for basic x509 certificates
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:36:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710123618.2036728-4-ravi@prevas.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710123618.2036728-1-ravi@prevas.dk>

I'm pretty sure it was never the intention to emit the output
filename (cert_fname) as the value of the CN distinguished name.

The cert-ca property was parsed from the dts node, stored in
._cert_ca, passed on as the cn argument to x509_cert(), but then not
used at all.

Now that we always read a distinguished-name subnode if present, use
that method instead.
