I think I don't understand this part.

This patch is OK as-is.

My point is more in the general direction of being able to configure
SPL/TPL/U-Boot separately, without being forced to craft nasty ifdeffery
in include/config/board.h if I need something enabled in SPL, but not in
U-Boot, and vice versa. And for that the Kconfig should be able to
somehow emit the _SPL/_TPL/U-Boot options of all symbols I think, so
that we won't need separate entry for each.
