I'd also like to see the usage of this hooked into the build process. And to my understanding of [1], that approach will provide a feature that permits hooking with the build but would expect the key as dtsi fragment. Can we consolidate the approaches? My current vision of a user interface would be a Kconfig option that takes a list of key files to be injected. Maybe make that three lists, one for "required=image", one for "required=conf", and one for optional keys (if that has a use case in practice, no idea).
