-Subject: [PATCH] tools: fix build without LIBCRYPTO support
-
-Commit cb9faa6f98ae ("tools: Use a single target-independent config to
-enable OpenSSL") introduced a target-independent configuration to build
-crypto features in host tools.
-
-But since commit 2c21256b27d7 ("hash: Use Kconfig to enable hashing in
-host tools and SPL") the build without OpenSSL is broken, due to FIT
-signature/encryption features. Add missing conditional compilation
-tokens to fix this.
-
