The reason is that MOK keys are (if anywhere) linked to the secondary
                                                               ^^^^^^^^^
                                                               platform?
keyring, and only primary keyring is used on arm64.

Thanks Michal for providing the info! Btw, I think you made a typo
because MOK keys are linked to the platform keyring, right?


Thanks for explaining. This is valuable information and should
be put into log for better understanding when reviewing or
reading code later.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll include this info in the commit message.
