This all works fine on Tegra for me. However I like to suggest
dropping a few patches in this series.

I don't think it is worth using ARCH_MALLOC_F_LEN. In fact for me the
Tegra defconfig looks OK and SPL is built correctly.

My remaining question is about that Tegra seems to want
USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC for SPL but not for U-Boot. I'm not sure why, nor
whether it matters. It seems to work find using it for both.

I have pushed my tested tree to u-boot-x86 in branch
single-kconfig-for-masahiro.

It contains only these patches:

 ARM: UniPhier: set CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F to the global default value
 kconfig: Adjust ordering so that defaults work as expected
 kconfig: switch to single .config configuration
 kconfig: remove unneeded dependency on !SPL_BUILD

Perhaps we can look at the others later once we get things moved over?
I think the SYS_MALLOC_F thing is not that big a deal and not urgent
to resolve if we still have a problem.

Simon
