Will this not mean that the dtsi file will have to be included
explicitly for all the files which want to include the public key? I
think it will be easier if the dtsi file can get included
automatically, similar to u-boot.dtsi. I will check if we can put a
dtsi file under lib/efi_loader/ and get that included automatically
with capsule auth enabled, similar to how u-boot.dtsi gets included.
