Can you please explain why you've decided to make this a Kconfig CONFIG
knob?  Why not either add: a dm-verity table argument? A dm-verity
kernel module parameter? or both (to allow a particular default but then
per-device override)?

Otherwise, _all_ DM verity devices will be configured to use secondary
keyring fallback.  Is that really desirable?

Regardless, I really don't see why a Kconfig knob is appropriate.
