Ok I had a closer look at this. ECDSA and AES currently have Kconfig
options for the legacy crypto libs. As a result, we need to define
mbedtls variants etc which is ok.
We only have one board using AES atm and sandbox using ECDSA. Since I
want efi https for 2025.01, we can move the new .o files under
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_LIB_TLS and then send a patch on top cleaning up the
Kconfigs for all crypto which is a bit messy atm.

Are you ok with this?

I would prefer having TLS as a separate Kconfig option. We might need
to use it without wget and binding mbedTLS to lwIP doesn't make that
much sense. It does *currently* because that's the only code that uses
it
