Alright, I've changed the types in __spdm_exchange() and spdm_exchange().

However the callers of those functions assign the result to an "rc" variable
which is also used to receive an "int" return value.
E.g. spdm_get_digests() assigns the ssize_t result of spdm_exchange() to rc
but also the int result of crypto_shash_update().

It feels awkward to change the type of "rc" to "ssize_t" in those
functions, so I kept "int".

The spec uses capital hex characters, so this was done to ease
connecting the implementation to the spec.

OTOH I don't want to capitalize all the hex codes in enum spdm_error_code.

So I guess consistency takes precedence and I've amended the
patch to downcase all hex characters, as you've requested.

Yes, the __packed attribute forces the compiler to avoid padding.

Thanks, good catch.  Indeed this is not necessarily naturally aligned
because the GET_CAPABILITIES request and response succeeds the
GET_VERSION response in the same allocation.  And the GET_VERSION
response size is a multiple of 2, but not always a multiple of 4.

So I've amended the patch to use a separate allocation for the
GET_CAPABILITIES request and response.  The spec-defined struct layout
of those messages is such that the 32-bit accesses are indeed always
naturally aligned.

The existing unaligned accessor in spdm_get_version() turned out
to be unnecessary after taking a closer look, so I dropped that one.

A follow-on patch to add key exchange support increases req_sz based on
an SPDM_MAX_REQ_ALG_STRUCT macro defined here in front of the function
where it's used.  That's the reason why the size is checked here as well.

The SPDM spec uses 0xffff so I'm deliberately using that as well
to make the connection to the spec obvious.

I don't quite follow, "%hhx" is an unsigned char, not a signed char.

spdm_state->version may contain e.g. 0x12 which is converted to
"dmtf-spdm-v1.2.*" here.

The question is what happens if the major or minor version goes beyond 9.
The total length of the prefix is hard-coded by the spec, hence my
expectation is that 1.10 will be represented as "dmtf-spdm-v1.a.*"
to not exceed the length.  The code follows that expectation.

Thanks for taking a look!   I've amended the patch to take all your
other feedback into account.
