When Kconfig for U-boot was examined, one of the biggest issues was
how to support multiple images (Normal, SPL, TPL). There were
actually two options, "single .config" and "multiple .config".
After some discussions and thought experiments, I chose the latter,
i.e. to create ".config", "spl/.config", "tpl/.config" for Normal,
SPL, TPL, respectively.
It is true that the "multiple .config" strategy provided us the
maximum flexibility and helped to avoid duplicating CONFIGs among
Normal, SPL, TPL, but I have noticed some fatal problems:
[1] It is impossible to share CONFIG options across the images.
If you change the configuration of Main image, you often have to
adjust some SPL configurations correspondingly. Currently, we
cannot handle the dependencies between them. It means one of the
biggest advantages of Kconfig is lost.
[2] It is too painful to change both ".config" and "spl/.config".
Sunxi guys started to work around this problem by creating a new
configuration target. Commit cbdd9a9737 (sunxi: kconfig: Add
%_felconfig rule to enable FEL build of sunxi platforms.) added
"make *_felconfig" to enable CONFIG_SPL_FEL on both images.
Changing the configuration of multiple images in one command is a
generic demand. The current implementation cannot propose any
good solution about this.
[3] Kconfig files are getting ugly and difficult to understand.
Commit b724bd7d63 (dm: Kconfig: Move CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to
Kconfig) has sprinkled "if !SPL_BUILD" over the Kconfig files.
[4] The build system got more complicated than it should be.
To adjust Linux-originated Kconfig to U-Boot, the helper script
"scripts/multiconfig.sh" was introduced. Writing a complicated
text processor is a shell script sometimes caused problems.
Now I believe the "single .config" will serve us better. With it,
all the problems above would go away. Instead, we will have to add
some CONFIG_SPL_* (and CONFIG_TPL_*) options such as CONFIG_SPL_DM,
but we will not have much. Anyway, this is what we do now in
scripts/Makefile.spl.
I admit my mistake with my apology and this commit switches to the
single .config configuration.
It is not so difficult to do that:
- Remove unnecessary processings from scripts/multiconfig.sh
This file will remain for a while to support the current defconfig
format. It will be removed after more cleanups are done.
- Adjust some makefiles and Kconfigs
- Add some entries to include/config_uncmd_spl.h and the new file
scripts/Makefile.uncmd_spl. Some CONFIG options that are not
supported on SPL must be disabled because one .config is shared
between SPL and U-Boot proper going forward. I know this is not
a beautiful solution and I think we can do better, but let's see
how much we will have to describe them.
- update doc/README.kconfig
More cleaning up patches will follow this.

At present defaults in arch-specific Kconfig files are ignored if the
top-level item comes ahead of it in include order. This means that it is
not possible to have a U-Boot default that architectures and boards can
override. This does not seem very useful.
Move the include earlier to support this.

For FIT signature based approach to work, RSA library needs to be selected.
The FIT_SIGNATURE option in Kconfig is modified to automatically select RSA.
Selecting RSA compiles the RSA library required for image verification.

It makes sense to specify CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ in "configs/xx_defconfig"
instead of "include/configs/xxx.h" because then header will be reusable
across boards with different CPU clocks.
Also this nice to have an ability for end user to tune this value
himself via "menuconfig".
For now I'm only applying this change to all ARC configs because
otherwise scope of change will be huge.

Defining CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE in config.mk is very old style.
Create CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE option in Kconfig, but let it
depend on CONFIG_SPARC because we do not want to disturb
the other architectures that still define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
in their header files.

This commit moves:

CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
CONFIG_OF_EMBED
CONFIG_OF_HOSTFILE
Because these options are currently not supported for SPL,
the "Device Tree Control" menu does not appear in the SPL
configuration.
Note:
zynq-common.h should be adjusted so as not to change the
default value of CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME.

CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST specifies the default defconfig.
It is used by "make savedefconfig" when .config is missing.
But that's it. I could not find other useful cases.
As a side effect, CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="configs/sandbox_defconfig"
is contained in .config of every target board, which some people
think is odd. So, let's remove it.
