If an SoC has the errata, it should implement the workaround, regardless 
if the U-Boot uses USB. Kernel may use it later. So we should treat it 
that way.

I don't agree. CMD_ERRATA is to enable the command to show which erratum 
workaround has been implemented. It shouldn't gate if the actual 
workaround code runs. Even kmp204x boards doesn't use USB, the 
workaround still needs to be implemented, in case kernel uses USB later. 
I was suggesting to put a macro in SoC config file if that fits the purpose.

That looks reasonable. Please test some targets with and without SPL, 
powerpc and ARM.
