    By default all ADSP/MDSP/SDSP are secured, so this property is only
    required for something that is not default. Only case that is
    configurable is the CDSP case where in by adding this flag we should be
    able to load an unsigned process to dsp using unsecured node.

    Having said that, TBH When we first added the fastrpc patchset we did
    not take care of this security feature properly :-)

    From security point of view, its better to keep the default as secured
    rather than unsecured in DT too.

    With this DTS patch older dts should continue to work.
