What is the motivation to require explicitly building the u-boot.mbn
target? Couldn't we do that automatically like before with REMAKE_ELF
(i.e. add u-boot.mbn to INPUTS-y)? Or is this because of the additional
Python dependencies (the cryptography module)?

BTW: We should probably document the Python "cryptography" requirement
somewhere so people don't get confused? qtestsign is Python 3.7+ and
cryptography 3.1+.

Thanks,
