Mbed-crypto persistent key builds fail with GNUARM when Protected Storage is disabled
Open, HighPublic

Description

On latest master branch, crypto-mbed builds will fail with GNUARM if Protected Storage partition is disabled. The persistent key cannot find ITS module in linking.

It breaks Profile Small build since Profile Small doesn't include PS. But it can be reproduced easily with ConfigDefault.config and ConfigCoreIPC.config.

How to reproduce with ConfigDefault.config

Follow the diff below:

Remove the option() of PS in CommonConfig.cmake
Disable PS in ConfigDefault.config
 It can be also reproduced in IPC model to set PS to OFF in ConfigCoreIPC.config.

A preliminary analysis

It looks like ITS partition is not eventually included in linking stage, if the dependency on it is not explicitly set.
Mbed-crypto requires ITS functionalities but the dependency is ignored during linking, probably since it is built as an external library.
May require some improvements to dependency between mbed-crypto and ITS in CMake.
