How about i just pull the patch convert all to Kconfig into this patch
set, and this will replace the patch 3. I just recalled why i need to
to enable the SPL FPGA build on patch 4 because patch 5 FPGA manager
already being moved to drivers/fpga/ hence some functions from FPGA
manager are required in SPL phase. In this arrangement, we can avoid
duplicate effort and time spending since we already have that Kconfig
patch.

Are you OK?
