This patch drops the backward portability right now, doesn't it?
If this patch is applied, those who are using ps7_init.c will suddenly
find U-Boot stop working.

Perhaps we have two options.

[1] We should support both ps7_init.c and ps7_init_gpl.c
until most of users switch over to the latest tool.

[2] If board/xilinx/zynq/ps7_init.c exists,
Makefile should display a message to suggest to
rename the ps7_init.c and/or update the Xilinx tool.
