Sorry for the late reply, I was relocating to a new country and it
took me some time to settle down.

I have read your comments and I will try to answer some questions
that I can answer right now. For the remaining questions, I need more
time to get more context and information. I will get back to you
as soon as possible.

For this one I agree just have IPE and dm-verity select IPE_PROP_DM_VERITY
is better, I will update this in the next version.
