sandbox_spl is confusing on first glance, it enables the spl_fit-options
but does not define any fit sources.

But I also found a general issue with my code below, and by fixing that
one sandbox_spl also gets happy again.

I now realized that this is the wrong check ... i.e. it only checks for
SPL_FIT_GENERATOR but that is a string so always defined if SPL_LOAD_FIT
is enabled ... also this doesn't take into account SPL_FIT_SOURCE, so the
way to go seems to be to check against $U_BOOT_ITS and
CONFIG_SPL_FIT_SIGNATZRE instead which gets defined if a suitable fit
source is available.


Background for this dependency is that the signature must be done before
the spl-binary gets build, because mkimage for the .itb needs to write the
key to the spl dtb.


I'll send an updated patch as a reply to this mail.
