[PATCH 0/4] vpl: Introduce a verifying program loader

[Simon Glass]

U-Boot provides a verified-boot feature based around FIT, but there is
no standard way of implementing it for a board. At present the various
required pieces must be built up separately, to produce a working
implementation. In particular, there is no built-in support for selecting
A/B boot or recovery mode.

This series introduces VPL, a verified program loader. Its purpose is to
run the verified-boot process and decide which SPL binary should be run.
Adding VPL into the boot flow provides a standard way of implementing
verified boot. So far, only the phase itself is added. More work is
needed to add logic to the phase, based on continuing discussions about
how best to standardise this feature.
