I think for added safety we should have an extra option that prompts
for the key to be revoked and an initcall that is activated depending
on it, e.g.:

config HABV4_CSF_SRK_REVOKE_INDEX
        int "SRK to revoke"
        range 0 3
        default 0
        depends on HABV4_CSF_SRK_REVOKE_UNLOCK
        help
          Which of the first three SRKs to revoke. The SRK indices are
          1-based. Saying 0 here will just print the SRK Revocation
          register without modification. SRK #4 is immutable.
                                                                       
          Proceed with caution, revoking a SRK is irreversible and
          manual manipulation of this code can brick the board!
                                                                       
if HABV4_CSF_SRK_REVOKE_INDEX = HABV4_SRK_INDEX
comment "Can't revoke same SRK used for signing"
comment "Attempts to build a signed barebox image will fail"
endif

and then some code that checks the same above condition during final
assembly of the signed image.

What do you think?
