I'm not sure whether this should err or warn.

What sort of situations can cause the test the fail (e.g.
adversary/interposer, bad configuration etc.).
This occurs when the hardware is not in "secure mode". I.e. it’s a bad configuration issue.
Once the board is properly configured, this will never trigger again.
Do you think a warning is better for this then?

Thanks,
