[PATCH v7 04/11] capsule: authenticate: Add capsule public key in platform's dtb

Sat Aug 5 13:34:51 CEST 2023


The EFI capsule authentication logic in u-boot expects the public key
in the form of an EFI Signature List(ESL) to be provided as part of
the platform's dtb. Currently, the embedding of the ESL file into the
dtb needs to be done manually.

Add a signature node in the u-boot dtsi file and include the public
key through the capsule-key property. This file is per architecture,
and is currently being added for sandbox and arm architectures. It
will have to be added for other architectures which need to enable
capsule authentication support.

The path to the ESL file is specified through the
CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_ESL_FILE symbol.

Changes since V6:
* Populate the CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_ESL_FILE symbol for sandbox and
  sandbox_flattree which enable capsule authentication.

Note:
Simon Glass had asked me to rid of the CONFIG_EFI_HAVE_CAPSULE_SUPPORT
ifdef used in the sandbox' u-boot.dtsi file. However, that results in
the sandbox_vpl test failing in CI. Hence that check has been kept.
