Thanks.

This is a bit odd. I didn't think the most likely reason is that you
have

CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256=m

but everything else built-in. Thus, when loading the certificate,
there's no way to calculate the digest since that requires sha-256,
hence

        BUG_ON(!sig->digest);

If you make CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256=y then it should go away.

I guess I'll do this:

diff --git a/net/wireless/Kconfig b/net/wireless/Kconfig

Can you try if that fixes your config for you?
