[PATCH v3 6/9] module: Move integrity checks into dedicated function

Thomas Weißschuh linux at weissschuh.net
Tue Apr 29 13:04:33 UTC 2025


With the addition of hash-based integrity checking, the configuration
matrix is easier to represent in a dedicated function and with explicit
usage of IS_ENABLED().

Drop the now unnecessary stub for module_sig_check().
