That's pretty normal for U-Boot though, since we want to avoid lots of
growth for things people might want control over. We can enable or
disable the SHA for the board, if this functionality is used outside
of measured boot and tcg2, but someone is enabling the tpm command.

'imply' would be OK in this case as I can disable it for that board. I
don't think it is in the spirit of U-Boot though.

isn't someone checking the growth in U-Boot? Or do so few boards have
TPMs that it didn't register? The size growth was 3.2KB on
chromebook_link.
