In this thread I don't see any reference to OpenBMC use of the existing
Shim[1] -- the current Linux UEFI Secure Boot solution to address these
legal issues. It seems that if the Shim can't work for OpenBMC case,
then OpenBMC could create a similar Shim-like widget. FYI, there's a
Shim mailing list.
