Hi Simon,
many thanks for your feedback on the series... I know it takes a lot of
effort to digest all that stuff. We'll see how we can tackle the
feedback one by one and send out an updated series.

Regarding this patch, please see below...

Yes we will definitely enhance the readme in the PATCH version, this
wasn't quite ready yet by the time we submitted the RFC.

Also regarding the external singing/encryption tool this is only
available from TI under NDA after customers engage with TI just like the
high-secure (HS) devices themselves (you can't just buy them on
Digi-Key). Personally I hope that we eventually lower this barrier of
entry (and this has been brought up more than once) but as many things
in the corporate world there is a complex decision process behind it. So
until this strategy changes (if ever) our poor developer's hands are
tied. All we can do for now is trying to allow this external tool to get
hooked into the U-Boot build process in the easiest way possible which
is already done today by way of the $TI_SECURE_DEV_PKG environmental
variable during SPL build.

Good catch! This issue actually caused me a fair amount of grief when
running into it. During development we found the build process works
with make -j1 but would fail for parallel builds (like make -j8) with
the following error....

----------------------->8---------------------------
$ make mrproper
$ make dra7xx_hs_evm_defconfig
$ make -j8
....

----------------------->8---------------------------

However with the .NOTPARALLEL: dtbs line included it works. Also when
doing make a second time it works as well (clearly that's not a
solution:)

On my quest trying to digest/root cause this I concluded that this may
be caused by the DTB files somehow getting compiled twice (see snippet).
This in combination with the fact that we post-process files like
dta7-evm.dtb (signing them) and creating new DTB files with the same
name (like dra7-evm.dtb) replacing the old ones causes issues during the
DTB compile step.

Now I'm not a make guru but I tried to clean up the dependency chain as
good as I can but could not get it to the point where each DTB file is
only build once which most likely would allow us getting rid of
NOPARALLEL.

On a related note we wanted to keep the same names for the DTB files
(rather than turning dra7-evm.dtb into dra7-evm-sec.dtb for example, as
I had it initially) since it's important as they get bundled into the
u-boot.img FIT blob so that they can be later matched by the SPL to a
board. But it appears like that trying to keep the same names despite
the additional signing step seems to complicate things from a make
perspective.

If you or anybody else has any smart suggestion how to address this in
a better way I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks,
Andreas
