[PATCH 2/3] tools/bootconfig: Consolidate xbc_init() to error message wrapper
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 14:17:05 EST
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
Use init_xbc_with_error() for all bootconfig initialization in the
bootconfig tool instead of showing errors in different way.
This simplifies the code logic and make it easy to maintain.
