[PATCH 12/14] fdt: Allow device tree to specify secure booting

Fri Oct 26 13:31:09 EST 2012
From: Doug Anderson <dianders at chromium.org>
When secure booting is chosen:
* The u-boot shell is never invoked during boot--we just do a simple
table lookup to find the command. This means we could even remove
the shell parsing from u-boot and still be able to boot.
* The boot command can't be interruped.
* Failure doesn't cause us to fall back to the shell.
