[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add the symbol for the minimal SPL used to eliminate unused code

[ying.zhang at freescale.com]

From: Ying Zhang <b40530@freescale.com>

Add the symbol CONFIG_SPL_BUILD_MINIMAL for the minimal SPL. It used to
eliminate code unused in the minimal SPL but used in the SPL.

This patch is on top of the following patch:
1. common/Makefile: Add new symbol CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT for
environment in SPL.
2. powerpc/mpc85xx: support application without resetvec segment in the
linker script.

I'm a bit confused by this patch. As far as I can tell, despite the
description, what this patch *actually* does is make CONFIG_SPL_BUILD take
up more space, while CONFIG_SPL_BUILD_MINIMAL will take up the same space
as CONFIG_SPL_BUILD used to.

It's important to make sure the commit message describes the purpose of the
patch, and that the patch actually does what it says...

If the goal was to make CONFIG_SPL_BUILD contain more functionality, then
say that in the commit message. If not, then please point out the error in
my understanding of the patch.

Hold up, this ignores the whole world of CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK and
probably breaks the ARM targets.   You need to instal an ARM toolchain
(either one of the Linaro ones or ELDK 5.x) and make sure that MAKEALL
-a arm is also fine after your SPL changes.

Not to mention that the "minimal init" concept is currently only  
well-defined for mpc85xx, so this really doesn't belong in common/.   
Minimal 85xx SPLs don't even include libcommon, so why is this change  
needed at all?

Minimal 85xx SPLs don't even include libcommon, so why is this change  
needed at all?
[Zhang Ying]
Just because some functionality is necessary for SPL booting from SD. 
They were excluded from the SPL by CONFIG_SPL_BUILD now. Of course, 
including the function env_import() in common/env_common.c. 

Andy was right, the goal of this patch was to make CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
contain more functionality.

OK, here's the confusion.  CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is _only_ for telling if
we're building U-Boot or SPL.  Everything else should be covered by
some other CONFIG symbol.  You either want to use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
(if you have the initial space for it), or add more options that are
compatible with CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL.
