The file should be measured on the pre security hook, not here on the
post security hook.  Here, whether "file" is defined or not, is
irrelevant.  The test should just check "read_id".

Have you tested measuring the firmware by booting a system with
"ima_policy=tcb" specified on the boot command line and compared the
measurement entry in the IMA measurement list with the file hash (eg.
sha1sum, sha256sum)?
