You disable LMB in a target that's only building "all" in CI because
wasn't ever worth adding ",sandbox" to the all other arches job until
perhaps now.

Disabling LMB in tools-only_defconfig then exposes that <lmb.h> can only
be included safely when CONFIG_LMB is set.

Adding / extending an #if test in code for something that's already
checked for in Kconfig is bad.  We spent so much time already removing
and shrinking #if tests in the code.

Honestly, checking again, I'm not sure LMB=n is valid, ever.  That's how
we keep our running U-Boot from being trivially overwritten and a huge
number of security issues from being re-opened. 

At this point, I think you should rework things to stop making
CONFIG_LMB be optional, it should be a def_bool y.
