Add new binman etype which allows signing both the SPL and fitImage sections of i.MX8M flash.bin using CST. There are multiple DT properties which govern the signing process, nxp,loader-address is the only mandatory one which sets the SPL signature start address without the imx8mimage header, this should be SPL text base. The key material can be configured using optional DT properties nxp,srk-table, nxp,csf-crt, nxp,img-crt, all of which default the key material names generated by CST tool scripts. The nxp,unlock property can be used to unlock CAAM access in SPL section.

I was not able to test or really look into your series [1], however I can relate with a comment from Tim Harvey.
I think is important to keep in mind that that signing cannot be done with key material that is in-tree, because well, that's private, and I think we should not force people to branch to properly sign the binaries.
I think that it would be valuable to share how do you foresee this used in a real environment.
