Stefano Babic d714a75fd4 imx: replace CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT with CONFIG_IMX_HAB
CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT is too generic and forbids to use it for cross
architecture purposes. If Secure Boot is required for imx, this means to
enable and use the HAB processor in the soc.

1. Setup U-Boot Image for Encrypted Boot
----------------------------------------
An authenticated U-Boot image is used as starting point for
Encrypted Boot. The image is encrypted by i.MX Code Signing
Tool (CST). The CST replaces only the image data of
u-boot-dtb.imx with the encrypted data. The Initial Vector Table,
DCD, and Boot data, remains in plaintext.
The image data is encrypted with a Encryption Key (DEK).
Therefore, this key is needed to decrypt the data during the
booting process. The DEK is protected by wrapping it in a Blob,
which needs to be appended to the U-Boot image and specified in
the CSF file.
The DEK blob is generated by an authenticated U-Boot image with
the dek_blob cmd enabled. The image used for DEK blob generation
needs to have the following configurations enabled in Kconfig:
CONFIG_IMX_HAB=y
CONFIG_CMD_DEKBLOB=y
Note: The encrypted boot feature is only supported by HABv4 or
greater.
The dek_blob command then can be used to generate the DEK blob of
a DEK previously loaded in memory. The command is used as follows:
dek_blob <DEK address> <Output Address> <Key Size in Bits>
example: dek_blob 0x10800000 0x10801000 192
The resulting DEK blob then is used to construct the encrypted
U-Boot image. Note that the blob needs to be transferred back
to the host.Then the following commands are used to construct
the final image.
cat u-boot-dtb.imx csf-u-boot.bin > u-boot-signed.imx
objcopy -I binary -O binary --pad-to <blob_dst> --gap-fill=0x00 \
u-boot-signed.imx u-boot-signed-pad.bin
cat u-boot-signed-pad.imx DEK_blob.bin > u-boot-encrypted.imx
NOTE: u-boot-signed.bin needs to be padded to the value
equivalent to the address in which the DEK blob is specified
in the CSF.
