# Again, "key" is not the best word to describe the value.

The syntax assumed here in a device tree (control FDT) is;
/ {
   signature {
       capsule-key = "...";
   };
   ...
};

"signature" node is already used as a directory to hold public keys
for FIT image verification (vboot).
(doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt)

While it is unlikely that both EFI capsule authentication and
FIT image authentication are enabled at the same time, I'm a bit
concerned if the mixture of different contents might cause
some confusion.
For instance, "required-mode" which has nothing to do with UEFI capsule
may exist directly under "signagture."

Do you have any thoughts?
