[U-Boot] Compiling u-boot (sunxi/next)

[Olliver Schinagl]

Hey all,

just working on a _defconfig for our board and noticed that u-boot fails 
to compile if my defconfig doesn't have:
# CONFIG_CMD_IMLS is not set

What supprised me is that it has to be in there as a comment to unset 
it. I would have imaged that it would be unset by default and only be 
available if set in the defconfig, or rather, how can commenting it in 
the defconfig unset it?

I've added the u-boot list to the CC, but afaik it's not an open list 
and my registrations have failed on a number of occasions ...

Not that it should fail to compile either way, here's the output:
