Good catch, thanks

Yep, moving this out, though not into plpks_is_available().

I'm moving this into a helper in plpks.c since now there's FDT handling
in early boot in there.  We can drop plpks_get_password() entirely.

Yes this should have been separate, and now has to be anyway since
we're retrieving the password from the FDT in early boot.

As Andrew mentioned, so we don't have a password lingering in the
device tree, though it's not especially useful.  We're going to get it
and clear it from the FDT in early boot instead.
