in finalize loop or we can get duplicate boot entries as well as
the memory leak

Should be list_for_each_entry_safe() now.

I wonder if it might be simpler to after the loop do

	list_for_each_entry_safe(&state->processed_options, syslinux_opt, list)
		talloc_free(syslinux_opt);
	list_init(&state->processed_options);

Then we just need talloc_free(d_opt) at the end of the first loop and we're
sure the list is empty before returning to syslinux_parse(). What do you think?

Yep that's fine.  This is an overall policy?  Should all the calls be 
list_for_each_entry be updated while I'm there?

It's still the same logic, the difference being whether you walk through 
the list once or twice.  The only real complexity you're saving is the 
goto next which I admit I'm not thrilled about but is consistent with 
the goto fail case flow.  Hmm, it does make the intent a lot more 
explicit rather than spreading it across the top and bottom though.  Yep 
I don't see any issues changing it.

Only if we're modifying the list while walking it but that looks like the
only case in syslinux-parser.

Sounds like the same thought process I was going through :)
