[PATCH v4 5/8] ima: based on policy require signed firmware (sysfs fallback)

Luis, is the security_kernel_post_read_file LSM hook in
firmware_loading_store() still needed after this patch?  Should it be
calling security_kernel_load_data() instead?

---

With an IMA policy requiring signed firmware, this patch prevents
the sysfs fallback method of loading firmware.
