+Subject: [PATCH] Add support for OpenSSL Provider API
+
+The Engine API has been deprecated since the release of OpenSSL 3.0. End
+users have been advised to migrate to the new Provider interface.
+Several distributions have already removed support for engines, which is
+preventing U-Boot from being compiled in those environments.
+
+Add support for the Provider API while continuing to support the existing
+Engine API on distros shipping older releases of OpenSSL.
+
+This is based on similar work contributed by Jan Stancek updating Linux
+to use the Provider interface.
+
+    commit 558bdc45dfb2669e1741384a0c80be9c82fa052c
+    Author: Jan Stancek <jstancek@redhat.com>
+    Date:   Fri Sep 20 19:52:48 2024 +0300
+
+        sign-file,extract-cert: use pkcs11 provider for OPENSSL MAJOR >= 3
+
+The changes have been tested with the FIT signature verification vboot
+tests on Fedora 42 and Debian 13. All 30 tests pass with both the legacy
+Engine library installed and with the Provider API.
