[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 14/66] spl: dm: Kconfig: split OF_CONTROL and OF_PLATDATA between SPL and TPL

For the RK3368, we want to use OF_PLATDATA in TPL, but full OF_CONTROL
in SPL: this requires the introduction of a new family of
configuration options to decouple SPL_OF_CONTROL and SPL_OF_PLATDATA
from TPL.

Consequently, Makefile.spl needs to be adjusted to test for these
configuration items through the $(SPL_TPL_) macro instead of
hard-coding the SPL variant.

+	  For very constrained SPL environments the overhead of decoding
+	  device tree nodes and converting their contents into platform data
+	  is too large. This overhead includes libfdt code as well as the
+	  device tree contents itself. The latter is fairly compact, but the
+	  former can add 3KB or more to a Thumb 2 Image.
+
+	  This option enables generation of platform data from the device
+	  tree as C code. This code creates devices using U_BOOT_DEVICE()
+	  declarations. The benefit is that it allows driver code to access
+	  the platform data directly in C structures, avoidin the libfdt
+	  overhead.
+
+	  This option works by generating C structure declarations for each
+	  compatible string, then adding platform data and U_BOOT_DEVICE
+	  declarations for each node. See README.platdata for more
+	  information.
