Yes, these need to be under the arch/$(ARCH)/dts/ directory for the
dtc to include them as part of the platform's dts.

For the sandbox's u-boot.dtsi, we need CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE
so that the ESL file is looked for only when capsule authentication is
enabled. The outer CONFIG_EFI_HAVE_CAPSULE_SUPPORT is to not include
stuff from this file unless capsule support is enabled. Simon had
asked me to rid of the outer ifdef, but the sandbox_vpl test fails
without it.
