[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] x86: make LOAD_FROM_32_BIT visible for platforms

[Andy Shevchenko]

This option is useful not only for development, but for the platforms
where U-Boot is run from custom ROM bootloader. For example, Intel
Edison is that board.

Make this option visible that platforms can select it if needed.
