They are taken from the datasheet.

We had some back and forth on this in an earlier iteration of this change:

 https://lore.kernel.org/all/57584776-06e7-0faf-aeb2-eab0c7c5ae1f@molgen.mpg.de/

It boils down to what is "good"? The system is fine if it is not
provisioned with secure boot keys, if that's the intent of the system
builder.

A similar thing is done for efi secure boot, where it prints out
whether it's enabled, disabled or unable to determine.

I'll send out a v2 that takes on the suggestions you made in the cover letter.

Cheers,
