I don't get your point. CONFIG_TOOLS_MKEFICAPSULE is only for building
mkeficapsule. It has nothing to do with U-Boot itself.

Again, I don't get your point.
Do you mean that we don't need "make tools-only_defconfig" for
"make tools"?

What does AVB mean?
openssl(libssl)? If so, please take a look at my patch[1].
