Half-OT: we have a policy of not adding dead code in U-Boot. Here, this
Kconfig change introduces CONFIG_EXPERT, but nowhere in the code is it
used. Should we consider this dead code as well (and thus, expect/accept
it only in a patch series where the EXPERT config is used somewhere else
in the code) or not?

Amicalement,
