[PATCH RFT v1 03/17] spl: Kconfig: allow K3 devices to use falcon mode

Falcon mode was disabled for TI_SECURE_DEVICE at commit e95b9b4437bc
("ti_armv7_common: Disable Falcon Mode on HS devices") for older 32-bit
HS devices and can be enabled on K3 devices.

For secure boot, the kernel with x509 headers can be packaged in a fit
container (fitImage) signed with TIFS keys for authentication.
