bootctl status produces a Bad syntax warning about boot entries containing tabs instead of spaces #8154
Description
bootctl status produces a Bad syntax warning about boot entries with multiple initrd lines.
Edit: the warning turns out to be about using tabs instead of spaces.

Default Boot Entry:

options: root=PARTUUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx rootfstype=ext4 rw add_efi_memmap intel_iommu=on intremap=no_x2apic_optout nvidia-drm.modeset=1
It fails to display the first initrd line, it displays only the last one.
I'm using entries like this:
$ cat /boot/loader/entries/archlinux.conf
title Arch Linux (archlinux)
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /intel-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx rootfstype=ext4 rw add_efi_memmap intel_iommu=on intremap=no_x2apic_optout nvidia-drm.modeset=1
It doesn't complain about my other entries like this:
$ cat /boot/loader/entries/4.15.2-gentoo.conf
title Gentoo Linux (4.15.2-gentoo)
linux /vmlinuz-4.15.2-gentoo
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-4.15.2-gentoo
options root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx rootfstype=ext4 rw add_efi_memmap intel_iommu=on intremap=no_x2apic_optout nvidia-drm=1
I think it could be fixed in this if-statement. The code involved was added with this commit.
