+ibm,secureboot
+==============
+
+Secure boot and trusted boot relies on a code stored in the secure ROM at
+manufacture time to verify and measure other codes before they are executed.
+This ROM code is also referred to as ROM verification code.
+
+On POWER8, the presence of the ROM code is announced to skiboot (by Hostboot)
+by the ``ibm,secureboot`` device tree node.
+
+If the system is booting up in secure mode, the ROM code is called for secure
+boot to verify the integrity and authenticity of an image before it is executed.
+
+If the system is booting up in trusted mode, the ROM code is called for trusted
+boot to calculate the SHA512 hash of an image only if the image is not a secure boot
+container or the system is not booting up in secure mode.
+
+For further information about secure boot and trusted boot please refer to
+``doc/stb.rst``.
+
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+
+::
+
+ compatible: ibm,secureboot version. It is related to the ROM code version.
+
+ hash-algo: hash algorithm used for the hw-key-hash. Aspects such as the size
+ of the hw-key-hash can be infered from this property.
+
+ secure-enabled: this property exists if the system is booting in secure mode.
+
+ trusted-enabled: this property exists if the system is booting in trusted mode.
+
+ hw-key-hash: hash of three concatenated hardware public key. This is required
+ by the ROM code to verify images.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+For the first version ``ibm,secureboot-v1``, the ROM code expects the *hw-key-hash*
+to be a SHA512 hash.
+
+::
+
+ ibm,secureboot {
+ compatible = "ibm,secureboot-v1";
+ hash-algo = "sha512";
+ secure-enabled;
+ trusted-enabled;
+ hw-key-hash = <0x40d487ff 0x7380ed6a 0xd54775d5 0x795fea0d 0xe2f541fe
+ 0xa9db06b8 0x466a42a3 0x20e65f75 0xb4866546 0x17d907
+ 0x515dc2a5 0xf9fc5095 0x4d6ee0c9 0xb67d219d 0xfb708535
+ 0x1d01d6d1>;
+ phandle = <0x100000fd>;
