But doing like this how can I define the file to supply to the
logo_bmp utility? This settings is needed to get the file
"include/bmp_logo.h" which in turn is used for the compilation stage.

I see...

I'm trying to find a good way to allow developers to define their own
logos since currently only denx.bmp is used in a not configurable way
(or at least I didn't find it).
