[PATCH v1] configs: qualcomm: Add secure boot config fragment

Hi Aswin,

Excited to see some interest from Qualcomm in enabling secureboot, but 
there's some issues here we need to discuss.

How is this meant to be used? what other steps are required to 
successfully boot this way? How are you testing this or expecting it to 
be used?

This fragment alone won't actually make booting "secure" since the 
console is still enabled along with all the non-EFI boot methods.

So what's the story here? Please give us some insight into the bigger 
picture, propose some ideas or plans for implementing a full secureboot 
chain, ping me or Neil or Ilias on IRC about it or at least offer enough 
context here so that we can discuss on list.

Sending random patches isn't gonna cut it and I'm not gonna just keep 
guessing what you're trying to achieve with a given patch or series like 
this. You need to engage with upstream and work with the rest of the 
community to figure out how your goals fit into the bigger picture 
(hint: why is this under board/qualcomm/ and not configs/?).

Thanks,
// Casey
