There are some arguments for uploading the whole chain to the device and
then only sending the server cert for verification, but I do not buy
them. For me the proper way is for the server to present the entire
chain (without the root cert) and the device to hold the root only.

CAT allows for uploading the whole chain, but my suggestion would be to
restrict oneself to the root only.
