The code added for ECDSA is mostly a copy from the existing RSA code.

It's less than ideal. What I'd really like to have is a single list of
keys which can include both RSA and ECDSA keys instead of maintaining
multiple lists. Likewise for the Kconfig options, it would be better to
have a CRYPTO_PUBLIC_KEYS option which holds multiple RSA and/or
ECDSA keys. Unfortunately my time budget for this task is over, so I
think we'll have to stick with this until the next cleanup round.

No specific reason, it's copied from U-Boot. One reason might be that
keytoc prints the values as array of uint32_t whereas the values in
barebox are interpreted as array of uint64_t. Using void * avoids casts
and covers some interesting endianess problems when the barebox
endianess differs from the endianess of the build machine.
