fluentd plugin for kafka ca-bundle secret doesn't support multiple CAs

Description of problem:

Add fluentd plugin for kafka support for passing a CA cert chain (i.e. root+intermediate certs)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

CLO 5.4, 5.5 (and possibly other older 5.x releases not tested)

Additional info:

We are seeing this message:

2022-09-14 16:24:48 +0000 [warn]: [kafka_legacy_oasis_tls] Send exception occurred: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (unspecified certificate verification error) 

It apparently can't support two CA's in the ca-bundle.crt to use for verification. The issue we have is almost exactly following this: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-plugin-kafka/issues/252

KCS (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5676121) related to 4.6 states a workaround is possible, and, BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1904380 states that a fix was released for 4.6

But having checked the latest code, it seems the ssl_ca_cert attribute included in the fluentd configmap doesn't support an array of certs, also checked the code and ssl_ca_cert seems to be of type string.
Is there anything being done to address this as my customer if blocked atm and waiting on this.
