[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/3] Makefile: rework / cleanup

The top level Makefile is growing and growing. Once, wehn we suppoted
only a few tens of boards, it was possible to implement board
configuration logic in the Makefile, but it quickly turned out that
this doesn't scale. Also, it is not really needed (at least not any
more) - we noch have mechanisnms in place, that allow for more
efficient code.

The following patch series is an attempt to start some cleanup and
reduce the size of the top level Makefile.  The solution is neither
perfect nor complete - there are quite a lot of boards that resist
such a cleanup and need more thorough cleanup.  But it's an initial
step, showing what could and should be done, which boards have
problems, and why this is the case.  Eentually this paves the ground
for a more friendly way to add new board configurations.
