The entire looks good to me, other than a minor concern, please see the
inline comment.

Hi Coiby,

You can check this patch, see if you can take the same way to solve the
LUKS-encrypted disk issue by passing the key via setup_data.

Is it a little better to update efi_setup_data_offset beforehand, or
define a local variable?

	efi_setup_data_offset += sizeof(struct setup_data) + sizeof(struct efi_setup_data));
	setup_ima_state(image, params, params_load_addr,
			efi_setup_data_offset));

No strong opinion. If nobody has concern about it.
