I'm not sure that CONFIG_xxx_BOOT and CONFIG_SPL_xxx_SUPPORT are the
same thing.  For example, CONFIG_NOR_BOOT on am335x means "we are
building to support booting from NOR, so include all of that stuff
that's normally not included".  While CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT means
include NAND support in SPL, which is not mutually exclusive with MMC,
etc.
