[U-Boot] Apparent conflict between CONFIG_BLK and CONFIG_API

[fuz at fuz.su]

Hello Simon,

CONFIG_BLK is set by default for all Rockchip boards. Turning it off was
the first thing I tried, but I actually wasn't able to figure out how to
turn it off at all and was then advised elsewhere that this is probably
not a good idea either.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
