Instead of hang()ing the system and thus disallowing any automated recovery possibility from a HAB authentication failure, panic() . The panic() function can be configured to hang() the system after printing an error message, however the default is to reset the system instead.
This allows redundant boot to work correctly. In case the primary or secondary image cannot be authenticated, the system reboots and bootrom can try to start the other one.

This is a better behavior indeed:

What about this? Have you ignored this patch for a reason? :/
Yes, and the reason is I was not even aware of your patch, sorry. The CC list in this mail should cover all the interested parties, so use it when sending V2, or use patman.
I already had 11 people on CC, but apparently I missed you.
The patch looks fine, one nit is that you should return errno.h return value and another is that it changes the current behavior. Now that I look at this imx code, board_spl_fit_post_load() should not even be in arch/ , sigh, but that's for separate patch either way.
So I think if you want to support this sort of fallback, you should make the board_spl_fit_post_load() be in board/ files, with default __weak implementation calling some arch_hab_authenticate...() which implements current content of board_spl_fit_post_load(), and let boards decide how to handle the fallback if it needs to be altered.
Would that work ?
I'm not sure. In comparison to the people from NXP who are paid to upstream their code and still don't do it correctly, I'm doing this in my spare time and I'm not sure I want to bikeshed all day long.
I can send a V3 that replaces the -1 with EINVAL, EACCESS, EPERM or something the like. If you want to clean up after NXP, feel free to.
In fact, what is it that you're trying to achieve with this fallback ? What are you falling back to , another fallback fitImage ?
