In the out_efi_err path, the if-statement needs to come before the
pr_efi_err() call. Otherwise it would be a change of behaviour for
ARM to what we have now.

Also, minor nit, I'd expect Matt to ask for a newline between the
if-statement and the following statements, so:

out_efi_err:
if (status == EFI_NOT_FOUND)
return efi_secureboot_mode_disabled;

pr_efi_err(sys_table_arg, "Could not determine UEFI Secure Boot status.\n");
return efi_secureboot_mode_unknown;

The error message doesn't say what the consequence is of the
failure to determine the status, but IIUC this differs between
x86 and ARM, is that correct? (If I remember the discussion
correctly, x86 defaults to disabled, ARM to enabled.)

Thanks,
