Before this commit the kernel could end up with no trusted key sources
even though both of the currently supported backends (TPM and TEE) were
compiled as modules. This manifested in the trusted key type not being
registered at all.

When checking if a CONFIG_… preprocessor variable is defined we only
test for the builtin (=y) case and not the module (=m) case. By using
the IS_REACHABLE() macro we do test for both cases.

Fixes: 5d0682be3189 ("KEYS: trusted: Add generic trusted keys framework")

Did this end up in any tree by now? I am wondering if I should resend
the patch instead. Perhaps it was just overlooked?

For EVM environments only using trusted and encrypted keys, not file
signatures, the trusted key is needed to decrypt the "master" key in
order to verify kernel modules.

So what you are saying is that right now (before this patch & after this
patch) you could compile a kernel that wouldn't be able to load any
modules when the trusted keychain part is built as module?

Before this patch, trusted and encrypted keys are builtin, so verifying
kernel modules with security.evm containing an EVM hmac would succeed. 
Afterwards it would fail, as there's a dependency on the trusted key to
verify the integrity of the trusted key module.

But building with =m was a valid configuration which is the original
reason for me submitting the patch. So perhaps this should not be
allowed to be a module then?

My mistake.  Trusted and encrypted key types have always been defined
as tristate.  Only when EVM selects encrypted keys, and by extension
trusted keys, are they builtin.

So how do we go about this patch? Building the TPM support as module has
broken actually using the trusted backend. This patch fixes that while
still allowing it to be a builtin. If there is some configuration there
a module isn't acceptable I am sure that is handled within Kconfig?

Can anyone of you four pick this up? Andreas' regression fix has
had Jarkko's Reviewed-by for close to two months and a half now.
