[PATCH] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix certificate thumbprint sysfs output
From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 08:07:48 EST
cert_thumbprint() already returns the accumulated output length, but
certificate_thumbprint_show() adds that value to count again, making the
next line use the wrong offset. Errors returned by cert_thumbprint() are
also ignored and their negative values added to count.
Assign the total length to count instead and propagate errors correctly.
Fixes: b49f72e7f96d ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Certificate authentication support")
