I just wanted to point out that this now-accepted patch series in by
itself is not a 100% complete solution to address all needs of secure
boot. Specifically, the extensions made rely on loading U-Boot as a FIT
image (CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT) but do not prevent the loading of a legacy
non-FIT U-Boot image. This is something that will need to get addressed
in a follow-on patch.
