No, you're wrong. It is not because of linking against SSL library, but to make 
sure this MXSimage support can be disabled easily.

This claim is wrong too, the signed fitImage support was in U-Boot before the 
MXSimage support. (I remember I looked at this fitImage signature when I was 
integrating the mxsimage into U-Boot ;-))

I agree this -DCONFIG_MXS and the ifdef can be removed from Makefile and 
mxsimage.c respectively, but make sure the result won't break on various 
platforms.
