[RESEND PATCH] tools/bootconfig: Fix a compilation issue with missing variable

From: Punit Agrawal
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 19:07:26 EST


While looking to build bootconfig tool in order to debug a kernel boot
time issue I noticed that tool fails to compile. The broken changes
were introduced by commit e5efaeb8a8f5 ("bootconfig: Support mixing a
value and subkeys under a key").

Fix the compile issue by introducing a "ret" variable to track the
return value from xbc_node_compose_key().

Fixes: e5efaeb8a8f5 ("bootconfig: Support mixing a value and subkeys under a key")

Hi Masami,

I am not sure what went wrong but the patch in the lore link[0]
doesn't match the end result (bad merge?). You may want to recheck the
other changes to make sure it all looks sane.

Regards,
Punit
