This patch defines a function to detect the secure boot state of a

Related to "goto out;" above:

Would of_find_compatible_node return NULL if the given node is not found?

If of_device_is_available returns false (say, because node is NULL or it does not find the specified node) would it be correct to call of_node_put?

+out:
+ of_node_put(node);
