The PLPKS enabled Power LPAR sysfs exposes all of the secure boot secure variables irrespective of the key management mode. There is support for both static and dynamic key management and the key management mode can be updated using the management console. The user can modify the secure boot secvars db, dbx, grubdb, grubdbx, and sbat only in the dynamic key mode. But the sysfs interface exposes these secvars even in static key mode. This could lead to errors when reading them or writing to them in the static key mode.
Update the secvar format property based on the key management mode and expose only the secure variables relevant to the key management mode. Enable loading of signed third-party kernel modules in the static key mode when the platform keystore is enabled.
