At this point it needs to be rebased again.  There's a ton of failures
in https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/pipelines/2198 which is after I
did
https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/commit/7db0379f85995d8c7673db7b04eb36d96546c9c8
and I'll put a proper commit message on that later today and post it and
CC relevant parties.  It's otherwise looking good.  I do want to confirm
that on boards like minnowmax the slight growth in fit_image_check_sig
is expected.  It's only 6 bytes so it probably is and we get a larger
reduction in rsa_verify all-around.

Thanks!
