This is bad!
We don't want the code to look like the above crap, do we?
Because next thing will be even worth:
ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
ifdef CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
ifdef CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND_SHIT...
COBJS-y += spl_id_nand_shit...o
endif
endif
endif

Ok. I understand your point. No, I don't think we should.
The real question is, do we want it look like the above crap?
If not, then please, do it right in this patch and all the rest
can be changed later.
Also would be nice to make all future patches do the right thing.
