This patch adds both "config ECDSA_VERIFY" and "config SPL_ECDSA_VERIFY"
see @lib/ecdsa/Kconfig. I believe this achieves what you need.

The intent here is to use CONFIG_ECDSA to denote ECDSA support. 
CONFIG_ECDSA_VERIFY and CONFIG_SPL_ECDSA_VERIFY are used to enable the 
code in u-boot and SPL respectively. Only verification is supported on 
the target, so these are the only switches that enable or disable code.

I though about an SPL_ECDSA kconfig. As mentioned above, we have 
independent switches to enable the code for u-boot/SPL. We can enable 
ECDSA support in u-boot, SPL, neither or both. What would this switch add?

This is the switch for SPL (@mentioned earlier).
