Subject: [PATCH 2/2] efi: payload: bootm: fix potential double-unload for image
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:26:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414142634.744542-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414142634.744542-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

efi_execute_image() already takes care to unload the image if it returns,
so adapt the single caller that tries to unload the image again
accordingly.
