Rooted to a one-time programmable key (OTP) that is generally burnt

DCP provides two keys that can be used as root of trust: the OTP key
and the UNIQUE key. Default is to use the UNIQUE key, but selecting
the OTP key can be done via a module parameter (dcp_use_otp_key).

* DCP (Data Co-Processor: crypto accelerator of various i.MX SoCs)
The DCP hardware device itself does not provide a dedicated RNG interface,
so the kernel default RNG is used. SoCs with DCP like the i.MX6ULL do have
a dedicated hardware RNG that is independent from DCP which can be enabled
to back the kernel RNG.
Users may override this by specifying ``trusted.rng=kernel`` on the kernel
command-line to override the used RNG with the kernel's random number pool.

/**
* DOC: dcp blob format
*
* The Data Co-Processor (DCP) provides hardware-bound AES keys using its
* AES encryption engine only. It does not provide direct key sealing/unsealing.
* To make DCP hardware encryption keys usable as trust source, we define
* our own custom format that uses a hardware-bound key to secure the sealing
* key stored in the key blob.
*
* Whenever a new trusted key using DCP is generated, we generate a random 128-bit
* blob encryption key (BEK) and 128-bit nonce. The BEK and nonce are used to
* encrypt the trusted key payload using AES-128-GCM.
*
* The BEK itself is encrypted using the hardware-bound key using the DCP's AES
* encryption engine with AES-128-ECB. The encrypted BEK, generated nonce,
* BEK-encrypted payload and authentication tag make up the blob format together
* with a version number, payload length and authentication tag.
