I think that the original reason of such 'ugly' solutions is the usage of
singe macro (CONFIG_COMMANDS) with bit-fields. This is causing problems,
because:
- it is nos scalable to manually define CONFIG_COMMANDS as a bitwise-or of
all needed CFG_CMD_* in each file under include/configs - because adding
new 'arch-independent' command in this case will require mo9dification of
all those files;
- so things as CONFIG_CMD_DFL become needed;
- but C preprocessor is has poor redefining capabilities - we can't just
redefine a macro using it's previous definition - so usage of
CONFIG_CMD_DFL causes issues like one being discussed.
A much better solution could be to have a macro-per-command.
In this case:
- command xxx could be compiled in, if CONFIG_CMD_XXX is defined, and not
compiled in if not defined;
- it could be easy to define/undefine such macros in config
But I don't think that such a change could be possible at the current stage
of u-boot development.
