Subject: [RFC v3 23/24] hw/arm/boot: Load DTB as is for confidential VMs
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:01:00 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825220101.3443954-24-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825220101.3443954-1-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>
From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org>
Load DTB without modifications when provided. That way it is possible
for a verification entity to reconstruct the Realm's initial measurement.
