[PATCH v2 2/2] bootm: add support for dynamically forcing signature verification

[Marco Felsch <m.felsch@pengutronix.de>]

From: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

So far, secure booting systems statically configured
CONFIG_BOOTM_FORCE_SIGNED_IMAGES=y to restrict bootm to signed images.

This remains the recommended way, but some systems require the ability
to decide at runtime whether to enforce secure boot or to disable it,
e.g. after verifying a JSON web token with the appropriate claim.

For such systems, provide a bootm_force_signed_images() function.
There's intentionally no unforce counterpart as this is meant to be
non-reversible.
