Parse the X.509 Basic Constraints.  The basic constraints extension
identifies whether the subject of the certificate is a CA.

BasicConstraints ::= SEQUENCE {
        cA                      BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        pathLenConstraint       INTEGER (0..MAX) OPTIONAL }

If the CA is true, store it in a new public_key field call key_is_ca.
This will be used in a follow on patch that requires knowing if the
public key is a CA.

Don't you have to check whether you can access v[0] and v[1]?

if (vlen < 3)

     return -EBADMSG;

or should it even be

if (vlen != 3)

      return -EBADMSG;

Good catch, I’ll add the check

I think this would be best

since the length could be larger than 3 if the optional pathLenConstraint
is supplied.
