Working on your reviews, I'm trying to get rid of all external scripts 
and putting them into btools/etypes which seems fit.
	* ti_secure_path can be nicely put into a btool
	* ti_boardcfg can also be an etype that outputs <type>-cfg.bins

But... I am not sure about this script above 
k3_sysfw_boardcfg_blob_creator.py. This script essentially does a more 
detailed packing of the <type>-cfg.bins that have been generated by 
binman. Since binman doesn't account for dependencies as of now; I am 
not sure how to go about it. Any pointers?

I could have something like

combined-sysfw-cfg.bin {
	sysfw-boardcfg {
		ti-boardcfg {
			config = "board-cfg.yaml";
			schema = "schema.yaml";
		}
		ti-boardcfg {
			config = "sec-cfg.yaml";
			...

But is there any way to not have to implement this entry within entry 
coupled with packaging, which I think might get a little messy?
