Thanks a lot for solving this problem.

CONFIG_TFABOOT is in arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/Kconfig.
If the configuration option is relevant for more systems, shouldn't it
be moved to arch/arm/cpu/armv8/Kconfig (in a separate patch)? In that
case we could also adapt the help text and add 'ARM trusted firmware' to
make it easier to understand.
