Description
Running mokutil --trust-mok and setting a password for verification works fine. Upon reboot it tries to set the MokListTrusted efivar but then responds with "Failed to delete MokListTrusted state".
I've tried with Secure Boot enabled as well as disabled, and in setup mode, but the result is the same.
Where do I go from here?

Research direction
Start by reproducing mokutil --trust-mok through the reboot flow and inspect the handling of the MokListTrusted efivar. The issue names no source file or test, so gather the firmware and Secure Boot state while tracing the reported deletion failure; done means the requested state can be enabled without that error.
