Hi everyone!

Commit cb9faa6f98ae ("tools: Use a single target-independent config to enable
OpenSSL") recently introduced option to disable usage of OpenSSL via
CONFIG_TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO. However, just a bit later, another commit b4f3cc2c42d9
("tools: kwbimage: Do not hide usage of secure header under
CONFIG_ARMADA_38X") made U-Boot tools hard dependent on OpenSSL. That totally
defeats the purpose of first commit. I suggest that it gets reverted.

I would like disable OpenSSL for my usage, since it gives me troubles when
cross-compiling U-Boot inside LibreELEC build system. It's not needed for our
case anyway.

Best regards,


Can you please give the following diff a try, and if it works for you, submit 
as patch?

This change is incorrect and will break mvebu builds. mvebu requires
kwbimage for building boot images and so you cannot disable it or make
it optional.


If kwbimage is required and missing the CI builds and tests don't catch that. I ran buildman with the change, and nothing broke. Sounds like that needs to be addressed.

That being said, I'm not okay with making everyone a slave to OpenSSL because of any given platform.

I propose to revert commit b4f3cc2c42d9 ("tools: kwbimage: Do not hide usage of secure header under CONFIG_ARMADA_38X"), and rework it such that it doesn't force libcrypto on everyone. And we very likely need a CI test against libcrypto linkage when TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO is not set.
