I think this takes things in the wrong direction. I'm going to link to
my post in another series now:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20241017232413.724808-1-sjg@chromium.org/T/#m6efe7c7fc4d453d18a4cf4331240454754d186e5
as I think we need to deal with this problem at a more common point
which will allow us to handle other enhancements as well, without
requiring changes in every possible path we could load something in, to
capture this information.
