Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] binman: x509: fix CN emitted for basic x509 certificates
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:58:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717135824.2142135-4-ravi@prevas.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717135824.2142135-1-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.
