+Subject: [PATCH] shim_lock: Disable GRUB_VERIFY_FLAGS_DEFER_AUTH if secure
+ boot off
+
+The GRUB_VERIFY_FLAGS_DEFER_AUTH is enabled regardless secure boot
+status that will cause error [1] on loading external grub modules if
+secure boot turned off in which shim protocol itself did not verify
+images so should not request verification for external modules either.
+
+This patch fixed the problem by adding the secure boot status check
+before requesting other verifiers to verify external module, therefore
+external module loading can work after shim_lock module loaded and
+secure boot turned off.
+
+[1] error: verification requested but nobody cares:
+(hd0,gpt10)/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/linux.mod.
