Yes, I should do that.

I've managed to make some progress on top of Jagan's series for SPI
stuff such that after marking things BROKEN (and also after migrating
some options to Kconfig) I can then do a commit that drops a bunch of
SPI-related stuff from defconfigs (move env out of SPI and to nowhere,
drop SPI from the config as there's no SPI controller, etc).  I hope to
finish that up soon so that it builds everything, and then clean it up
enough to post (I realize now that say CMD_SF / CMD_SPI should depend on
SPI_FLASH / SPI for example, and hadn't done that yet).
