When loading certificates list from EFI variables, the error message and efi status code always be emitted to dmesg. It looks ugly: [ 2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT [ 2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list This cosmetic patch set moved the above messages to the error handling code path. And, it adds a function to transfer EFI status code to string to improve the readability of debug log. The function can also be used in other EFI log.
