I activate CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT to handle the "preboot" variable in
common/main.c::main_loop()

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT))
		run_preboot_environment_command();

But I expect that the "preboot" varibale in empty by default,
as it is the case until now.

In my case the preboot variable is dynamically build in 
arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/cpu.c::setup_boot_mode()

it is why I activate the USE_PREBOOT by default:
  with imply in mach-stm32mp Kconfig.

I use this feature to handle the 'forced' boot request,
and I preferred don't override the bootcmd
(I handle the fastboot 'continue' command without any effort:
  the bootcmd is executed after preboot=fastboot)

And it is managed by linux with reboot mode driver:

tamp: tamp at 5c00a000 {
	compatible = "simple-bus", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
	reg = <0x5c00a000 0x400>;

	reboot-mode {
		compatible = "syscon-reboot-mode";
		offset = <0x150>; /* reg20 */
		mask = <0xff>;
		mode-normal = <0>;
		mode-fastboot = <0x1>;
		mode-recovery = <0x2>;
		mode-stm32cubeprogrammer = <0x3>;
		mode-ums_mmc0 = <0x10>;
		mode-ums_mmc1 = <0x11>;
		mode-ums_mmc2 = <0x12>;
	};
};

So the expected configuration for me is 
- CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT=y		=> variable preboot is handle
- CONFIG_PREBOOT=""		=> default value of variable
