Thanks Jarkko. Masahiro Yamada would prefer to revert the original 
commit 340a02535ee785c64c62a9c45706597a0139e972 i.e. move extract-cert 
back to the scripts/ directory.

I am just posting v12 which includes Masahiro feedback. Nageswara has 
already tested v12 version as well.

I am fine either way 1.) Adding v11 and then separately handling of 
reverting of the commit or 2.) Adding v12 version which includes the 
revert. I leave the decision on you as to which one to upstream.

Thanks & Regards,
