[U-Boot-Users] Compile-time flash dependencies (was: PATCH: RPXlite configuration fixes)

Dear Yuli,

You can define a CFG_MONITOR_LEN that matches all  supported  boards;
CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE is more difficult to handle.

The problem is that in the current code a lot of dependency  checking
is  doen at compile time. This is *intentional* to keep the code size
minimal. If you can  figure  out  how  to  avoid  #defined  CFG_ENV_*
settings  while  *not*  increasing the code size your patches will be
welcome.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
