For powerpc this should be all we need:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig
index 497b7d0b2d7e..a5cfde432983 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig
@@ -976,12 +976,13 @@ config PPC_MEM_KEYS

 	prompt "Enable secure boot support"
 	bool
 	depends on PPC_POWERNV
 	depends on IMA_ARCH_POLICY

 	help
 	  Systems with firmware secure boot enabled need to define security
 	  policies to extend secure boot to the OS. This config allows a user
 	  to enable OS secure boot on systems that have firmware support for
 	  it. If in doubt say N.
