+cc a few people that had some input on that discussion.
Apologies from top posting, but I am sending this from a mobile.

I think I've spent enough time trying to explain why I think we don't need
to revert this and why moving the signature to the dtb once we fix it has
minimal effect on the users.

Note that the mkeficapsule is completely irrelevant and shouldnt be
reversed anyway but since we have to make changes in documentation etc and
we are close to a release, just keep it in there.

If everyone is convinced that this needs to be reverted I am fine.  I'll
just refix all of the platforms(since with this reverted only qemu supports
authenticated capsules) and have a look on the dtb issues.

Regards
Ilias
