I've posted the v2 of this patch with this information added.

This don't need any special Kconfig option. You just undefine the
CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK, and that's all.

As fair as I can tell - the CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK option is used with
for example imx28evk board. The issue here is that imx28 SoC needs
u-boot.sb to boot up when USB is used to debrick it (this is somewhat
the legacy approach with a single binary u-boot).
