Hello Heinrich and all,
Thanks for the feedback.

I agree this feature is interesting when the DTB passed was initially
loaded from an external image. Measuring the loaded image(s ?) when
loaded would make more sense but there DTB is can be load from various
commands from generic or custom bootcmd script, commands like
"tftpboot ${fdt_addr_r} dtb/${efi_fdtfile}" or load_efi_dtb variable
from include/config_distro_bootcmd.h. We cannot run a generic
measurement a those places.

Hmmm, right. To measure here, copy_fdt() should be modified.
