commit cad659a2f605df651841d052e2d7d2984be6553a Author: Paul Kocialkowski contact@paulk.fr Date: Sun Aug 9 10:23:38 2015 +0200
chromeos: Allow disabling vboot firmware verification when ChromeOS is enabled
Some ChromeOS bindings might be wanted without using vboot verification, for instance to boot up depthcharge from the version of Coreboot installed in the write-protected part of the SPI flash (without jumping to a RW firmware).
Vboot firmware verification is still selected by default when ChromeOS is enabled, but this allows more flexibility since vboot firmware verification is no longer a hard requirement for ChromeOS (that this particular use case still allows booting ChromeOS).
In the future, it would make sense to have all the separate components that CONFIG_CHROMEOS enables have their own config options, so that they can be enabled separately.
