The kwbimage has hard dependency on OpenSSL, do not build it in case TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO is disabled.
This patch does not work as kwbimage is required for 32-bit Armada platforms. So kwbimage.o cannot be disabled on these platforms.
There is already proposal for fixing this issue: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20211021093304.25399-1-pali...
And needs to be respun to not have Kconfig issues. To answer something noted in that thread, yes, it would be good if Kconfig did, or had an option to make WARNING like that fatal. Or is the problem really that no, it's non-optional, really, to have OpenSSL installed?
OpenSSL should be optional, I got this bug report where someone tried to build u-boot on ancient debian oldoldstable with openssl 1.1.0 (without ecdsa support), for a platform which doesn't need any of this crypto stuff. So, disabling TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO was a sufficient for that platform to build in that setup (with this patch). And there are plenty of such platforms in the U-Boot tree (all that are not marvell I think).
Right. So your patch is a step in the right direction, but we also need to have the appropriate platforms depend'ing on TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO and updating the help to note that some platforms require it as well, to build their images.
