>>CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(DFU_xxx) so that we will get things enabled/disabled (and discarded) as needed.

>Ok, will do.

Correct me if I am wrong, I need understand if we introduce say SPL_DFU_MMC Kconfig options, then whether need to support DFU_MMC in SPL ?
Again this will increase the SPL-size, and also DFU_MMC uses run_command() again, there is dependency of cli.c, hush etc.
