That sounds fine for Amlogic SoC and many others too with
CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE="" CONFIG_OF_LIST="" options available.
However, if in future we have truely generalized U-Boot (like efforts
for Qcom platform) then CONFIG_OF_LIST="" may become an overloaded
choice.

For now, let me drop the Makefile portions.
