test_vboot seems to be testing the bootm command, while with this test 
I'm only looking to test the host-side (mkimage). In the next series, I 
won't have a software implementation of ECDSA, like RSA_MOD_EXP. I will 
use the ROM on the stm32mp. So there won't be somthing testable in the 
sandbox.

Sure, let me look into this.
