I think adding CONFIG_SPL_LOADER_SUPPORT is also OK:

#if defined(CONFIG_SPL_DM) || defined(CONFIG_SPL_LOADER_SUPPORT)
  	. = ALIGN(4);
  	.u_boot_list : {
  		KEEP(*(SORT(.u_boot_list*)));
  	} > .spl_mem
#endif


In mach Kconfig:
config SPL_LOADER_SUPPORT
	bool
	default y if SPL_NOR_SUPPORT
	default n
