[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 0/2] RFC: Detect and reject new ad-hoc CONFIG options

Despite the availability of Kconfig, the number of ad-hoc CONFIG options in
U-Boot is still at over 8000.

In February 2015 (commit 741e58e0) there were around 8387 ad-hoc CONFIGs.
As of this patch there are about 8336, only a little fewer.

One problem is that new ones are still being added, admittedly at a slower
rate. This series adds a Makefile check to detect that and produce a build
error. This provides immediate feedback that new CONFIG options should go in
Kconfig.

NOTE: This series needs work since there are some existing CONFIG options
that are not included in the whitelist. Assuming that the approach makes
sense, I will tweak my scripts to sort this out.

  Kconfig: Add a whitelist of ad-hoc CONFIG options
  Makefile: Give a build error if ad-hoc CONFIG options are added
