[U-Boot] [PATCH] imx: nitrogen6x: Convert Sabrelite to distro boot support

[Gary Bisson]

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for your patch! Switching the upstream nitrogen6x configuration
to distro bootcmd has been in our todo list for some time since we also
use that in our own git repo.

Please also switch nitrogen6x to it, not only sabrelite.

That currently doesn't build because CMD_PXE isn't selected in the
sabrelite defconfig.
"include/config_distro_bootcmd.h:319:2: error: expected ‘}’ before
‘BOOT_TARGET_DEVICES_references_PXE_without_CONFIG_CMD_DHCP_or_PXE’"

Which brings a good point, all the above should depend on the storage
command being present, like done here [1].

I wish the default efi_fdtfile would work, Fabio is there any plan to
populate the ${soc} variable like it is done for i.MX7? [2]
Then a small patch in the nitrogen6x.c would set the proper board env
variable.

That way there would be no difference in this header between sabrelite
vs. nitrogen6x.

Do we need to keep fdt_addr since we define fdt_addr_r below?

The rest looks good to me.
