Subject[PATCH v7 5/6] doc: trusted-encrypted: describe new CAAM trust source
Date
Update documentation for trusted key use with the Cryptographic
Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM), an IP on NXP SoCs.

Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

v6 -> v7:
- docs update split off as new Patch (Jarkko)
- fixed typo in "Trusted Keys usage: CAAM" section
