Comment (by devans@…):

 Thanks for catching my errors.  And you're right, adding support for
 Secure Transport would be an obvious extra.  I guess one might as well as
 polarssl/mbedtls as requested in #51059 too.

 I've been using this variant for the last couple of days without problems.
 It's designed to have a small footprint for embedded real time systems but
 covers all the current standards including TLS 1.2 and has a permissive
 license.  Appears to be a good replacement for openssl/libressl for people
 who want to distribute an unencumbered TLS implementation.

 I'll update the patch and send it back for additional review.
