Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: i.MX6: Enable PBL_VERIFY_PIGGY with HABV4 support
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 15:04:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250218140407.1224499-1-s.hauer@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Some i.MX6 configurations use the xload mechanism. With this the ROM
only loads and verifies the PBL. The PBL will then load barebox proper.
Without verification the barebox proper binary is untrusted and could be
modified. Select PBL_VERIFY_PIGGY when HABV4 is enabled to ensure the
barebox proper binary has not been tempered with.

boards not using the xload mechanism don't need this option, but there
is no good way to detect currently if the xload mechanism is used, so
these boards will have to live with a slightly increased binary size
for now.
