This option allows a string to be entered into U-Boot to stop the
autoboot. The string itself is hashed and compared against the hash
in the environment variable 'bootstopkeysha256'. If it matches then
boot stops and a command-line prompt is presented.
This provides a way to ship a secure production device which can also
be accessed at the U-Boot command line.
