To be concise,

    for (off = 0; off < len; off += entry->size)

This deserves a comment as coreboot_cfr_label_from_value() returns a `char *`
instead of bool.

Does it really need the check?

To be consie,

    for (off = 0; off < len; off += entry->size)

Doesn't it need to do anything if sees unknown `entry->tag`?

No more data to clear,

    return PTR_ERR(...);

Nothing to do other than a return.  The label can be removed.
