Hi Tom,
I have a specific test case where I test if it's still possible to
build upstream master u-boot on our infrastructure (progression testing).
I also test runtime on our boards.

I understand that nowadays everyone uses docker container,
but ​we have limited docker nodes right now on our site.

If you don't want to support OpenSSL < 1.1.0 and do not test it,
then I suggest dropping it all over the tree because it doesn't
make sense and looks misleading with such a partial solution.

Best regards,
Artem
