In the arm stub's efi_entry(), we fail-safe, and assume secure boot for any
non-zero status (including errors). e.g. 

	secure_boot = efi_get_secureboot(sys_table);
	if (secure_boot > 0)
		pr_efi(sys_table, "UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.\n");

	if (secure_boot < 0) {
		pr_efi_err(sys_table,
			"could not determine UEFI Secure Boot status.\n");
	}

	/*
	 * Unauthenticated device tree data is a security hazard, so
	 * ignore 'dtb=' unless UEFI Secure Boot is disabled.
	 */
	if (secure_boot != 0 && strstr(cmdline_ptr, "dtb=")) {
		pr_efi(sys_table, "Ignoring DTB from command line.\n");

... should we not do likewise here, e.g.

	int secure_boot = efi_get_secureboot(sys_table);

	if (secure_boot > 0)
		pr_efi(sys_table, "UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.\n");
	if (secure_boot < 0)
		pr_efi_err(sys_table,
			"could not determine UEFI Secure Boot status.\n");

	/*
	 * Fail-safe in the case of an error determining the secure boot
	 * status.
	 */
	boot_params->secure_boot = (secure_boot != 0);

... ?

Thanks,
Mark.
