It's rather unclear that uboot.sb, uboot.sd and uboot.nand are
Freescale i.MX28 specific, so let's make that clear in the prompt of
each option, like we do for the Marvell-specific uboot.kwb.

With the patchset "kconfig: turnaround into single .config"
[http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-February/205490.html]
U-Boot switched to a single .config file for board configuration. This
allows us to use the kconfig-package infrastructure.
For providing backward compatibility with older U-Boot version a user
choice between the new Kconfig and the legacy build system is
introduced.
[Thomas:
- make use of the legacy build system the default, to not break
existing configurations.
- add some comments in the code checking all the configuration
options, in order to hopefully make it a bit clearer.]

This commit integrates generation of a bootable image
for Xilinx Zynq. The generation is independent on Xilinx
flow and utilizes the host-zynq-boot-bin package. The only
required step is to generate a proper U-Boot SPL (instead
of the FSBL).
The SPL generation might work when providing the working
ps7_init.c file to U-Boot. However, from U-Boot 2015.07
a set of generic ps7_init.c files is included and used to
build the U-Boot SPL for various boards. The ps7_init.c file
has been released under GNU/GPL license for this purpose.
For details, see
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-April/210664.html
The SPL searchs for u-boot-dtb.img when booting so we
enforce using of the BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_DTB_IMG format.

option no longer exists.]

Allow to generate 'u-boot.nand', Freescale i.MX28 BootStream format (.sb)
with a header for booting from NAND flash.
There are two possibilities when preparing an image writable to NAND flash:
1) The NAND was not written at all yet or the BCB (Boot Control Blocks) is
broken. In this case, the NAND image 'u-boot.nand' needs to written.
2) The NAND flash was already written with a good BCB. This applies after
'u-boot.nand' was correctly written. There is no need to write the BCB
again. In this case, the bootloader can be upgraded by writing 'u-boot.sb'.
To satisfy both cases 'u-boot.nand' as well as the make target 'u-boot.sb' are
copied to the binaries directory.
mxsboot for NAND images needs all three parameters typed in as integer values
(hex values do not work). The default values choosen are typical sizes for a
NAND flash.

On some platforms, the standard U-Boot binary is not called u-boot.bin,
but u-boot<something>.bin. This is for example the case on the
Cavium-provided u-boot, where the output file is called
u-boot_<boardname>.bin.
This patch adds a 'custom format' choice in the existing u-boot binary
format selection, where this name can be put. In the Cavium example, this
option could be set to:
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_CUSTOM_NAME="u-boot-$(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME).bin"
