Subject: [PATCH 1/4] common: bootm: add policy to commandline
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:16:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312-v2026-02-0-topic-sconfig_console-v1-1-4c3fccafab1e@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312-v2026-02-0-topic-sconfig_console-v1-0-4c3fccafab1e@pengutronix.de>

If security policies are used, then the variable bootm.provide_policy
can be set to automatically append the currently selected security
policy to the kernel commandline with the prefix
barebox.security.policy=
This allows the the system to behave different based on the selected
security policy.
