Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] k3-binman.dtsi: add keyfile_template node
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:58:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717135824.2142135-5-ravi@prevas.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717135824.2142135-1-ravi@prevas.dk>
Currently, it is somewhat tedious for downstream/custom boards to
override the keyfile used for signing all the various artifacts
involved in booting on K3 devices to point at their own key. For a key
stored in a file, one could override node which "generates" (copies)
custMpk.pem in the build dir from the one in the source dir and point
that at another filename=. That works, but is a little misleading.
However, when the "keyfile" needs to be, say, a pkcs#11 uri, one has
to have overrides in one's .dtsi for each and every ti-secure /
ti-secure-rom node, and a lot of those do not even have dts labels, so
one has to use their full /binman/... path.
Add a small dedicated template that only contains the keyfile
property. In a subsequent patch, we will change nodes that contain an
explicit 'keyfile = "custMpk.pem"' to instead have this template
inserted. This way, the downstream board's .dtsi file only needs to
contain something like
&keyfile_template {
keyfile = "pkcs11:object=my-key-identifier";
};
and that will then automatically propagate to all the nodes.
