Hi Igor,

Commit description says "compiler-dependent" while AVB_VERIFY
description says "bootloader-dependent". IMO none of the two
terms provides a clear description of what is actually the role
of avb_verify.c.

Looking into the code myself, I see three categories of functions:
* Helpers to process strings in order to build OS bootargs.
* Helpers to access MMC, similar to drivers/fastboot/fb_mmc.c.
* Helpers to alloc/init/free avb ops.

Maybe it's subjective, but as a user of this component, I would like to
see this stated in Kconfig/commit description.

I think this patch misses:

diff --git a/common/Makefile b/common/Makefile
index 66584f8f48be..7100541ece00 100644
--- a/common/Makefile
+++ b/common/Makefile

-obj-$(CONFIG_LIBAVB) += avb_verify.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_AVB_VERIFY) += avb_verify.o

Because of that, I still see that the build system attempts/fails
to compile common/avb_verify.c after just enabling CONFIG_LIBAVB.

The rest looks fine to me.

Thanks,
Eugeniu.
