this needs to be communicated from the secvar backend, maybe via a
field in the ops structure?

Call it secvar_kobj or something.

Ah, the old I-can't-believe-it's-not-global trick.

shouldn't that be static too?

Should they be globally readable? If efivars is globally readable I'm
happy to follow that example, but mpe might have opinions.

Where'd the 1024 restriction on the length of the variable name come
from? is that enforced by firmware? If so, how does firmware
communicate the limited key length?

does namesize need to be initialised for the first call?

You might want to differentiate between the error case and the "no
extra variables" case. Come to think of it, since the point of
abstracting secvar ops is to make this code indepdendent of the backend
why are we checking for OPAL_SUCCESS? The ops functions should be
returning linux return code (EIO, etc) rather than OPAL codes.

pr_info?

Checking status here isn't needed here since we checked it above and
broken out of the loop.

Not having secvar support isn't an error. IMO checking if the ops are
defined is the first thing you should be doing. If we don't have a
defined set of ops then we don't need to do anything else.
