Especially since the various config files

1) often define the CONFIG_ and CFG_ options is different order
2) are usually not designed to be flexible.  That is, if you undefine
a certain option, instead of handling it gracefully, U-Boot will just
break.

The device trees are heirarchal, organized, and well defined.  I would
not apply those attributes to the config files.

Just the fact that we have CONFIG_ and CFG_ makes it too confusing.
