Someone asked the question you see above, and Dhananjay tried to 
answer.  The consensus was that there is support for AST2600 secure 
booting U-Boot, support for U-Boot securely loading the Linux kernel, 
and no additional support.  Your summary would be appreciated.

Is there a document which what a system integrator needs to use this 
function?  Ideally it would be linked from 
https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/features.md
