This doesnt actually work as CONFIG_SPL_TARGET doesnt appear to be an SPL
target, but rather a
target for creating combined u-boot + spl images at the top level.  Adding

ALL-$(CONFIG_SPL_TARGET) += $(obj)/$(SPL_BIN).hex 

in Makefile.spl and 
CONFIG_SPL_TARGET="u-boot-spl.hex" 
in the socfpga_stratix10_config

results in a build failure with no target for u-boot-spl.hex
