Hi All,

Here is a ton of patches working on the state framework:

- make code easier to follow
  - Drop cached backend, replace with open coded more direct code
  - drop backend as extra struct type
  - drop lazy init code
- update documentation
- Add keystore command
  Using authenticated state requires hardware support which currently
  is only available for i.MX6. At least for testing purposes a keystore
  command to set keys is useful. This way authenticated state can be
  tested without hardware support
- more robust conversion of the backend path to a device node
- make work better with NOR flash: The current code ended up reading
  from NOR Flash byte by byte which was painfully slow
