Hi Eric,

There are two scenarios where key would be required to reprogram, first is when
rail powering the ICE goes off or SDCC does BCR reset.

now during suspend-to-RAM, rail powering the ice wont go off, so key would not
be required to reprogram. During CQE recovery, key would be only lost when BCR
reset is performed but that is not happening right now, to be taken up once its
fixed as part of recovery flow. And in case hibernation image fails to create
then device boots from normal flow where there is no need to reprogram the keys.

Thanks,
Ram
