Subject: [PATCH] tlv: Add tlv_bind_serial mapping
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:43:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251112-tlv_bind_serial-v1-1-638cf222553a@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Particularly when using secure boot with signed TLVs, it may be required
to issue and sign TLVs for specific units. As typically all units of a
board are compiled to validate TLVs against the same key, a "binding"
mechanism is needed if interchange of TLVs across those units must be
prevented. This mapping binds against the SoC serial number (a.k.a. SoC
UID) of the unit, rendering a signed TLV with such a field invalid for
all but one unit.

When generating TLVs that use this mapping, the exact case-sensitive
string representation of the serial_number must be taken into account:
All existing soc drivers supply the serial_number as uppercase
hexadecimal representation without a prefix.

Add the special mapping tlv_bind_serial that aborts TLV parsing if the
supplied string does not match the SoC serial number.

Include this mapping in barebox_tlv_v1_mappings with tag 0x0024 to make
it available in testing and in other setups using the generic tlv
parsers. These parsers will store the serial_number in the
"bound-serial-number" field.
