If we want to allow users to disable distro,
and do not want ARCH_SUNXI appear in a generic config entry,
perhaps we can do like this.


config ARCH_SUNXI
       bool
       select ARCH_SUPPORTS_DISTRO


config DISTRO_DEFAULTS
       bool "Select defaults suitable for booting general purpose
Linux distributions"
       default y if ARCH_SUPPORTS_DISTRO



Currently it is just fine,
but we might want to do something in the future
when we have more platforms to migrate to this way...

config DISTRO_DEFAULTS
     bool "Select defaults suitable for booting general purpose Linux
distributions"
     default y if (ARCH_SUNXI || ARCH_TEGRA || ARCH_HISI || ARCH_ZYNQMP ... )



> +       default n
> +       select CMD_BOOTZ
> +       select CMD_DHCP
> +       select CMD_EXT2
> +       select CMD_EXT4
> +       select CMD_FAT
> +       select CMD_FS_GENERIC
> +       select CMD_MII
> +       select CMD_PING
> +       select HUSH_PARSER

Do you mean all of these commands are mandatory for disto?
Or just recommended?
