Adding a M-entry does makes sense because trusted keys backends can be based on various technologies and standard. It's a different in that sense than lets say a TPM hardware driver. > > I also see it the most manageable if the trusted keys PR's come from a > > single source. > > I echo here with you to have a single source for trusted keys PR's > irrespective of whether we go with a separate trust source entry or > update existing subsystem entry. > > -Sumit And I echo that oviously if there is someone to say the final ack about TEE, I will require that as the minimum to ever pick any of those changes :-) I would resolve this with just the M-entry, and we can *later on* restructure, if there is a need for that. These things are not sealed to stone. /Jarkko
