[RFC PATCH v2 01/33] KVM: SVM: Remove the call to sev_platform_status() during setup
From: Tom Lendacky
Date: Fri Oct 02 2020 - 13:03:27 EST
From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@xxxxxxx>
When both KVM support and the CCP driver are built into the kernel instead
of as modules, KVM initialization happens before CCP initialization. As a
result, sev_platform_status() will return a failure when it is called from
sev_hardware_setup(), when this isn't really an error condition.
Since sev_platform_status() doesn't need to be called at this time anyway,
remove the invocation from sev_hardware_setup().
