This is what's tricky. The symbol FASTBOOT_FLASH is default y for all
ARCH_SUNXI and ARCH_ROCKCHIP platforms where FASTBOOT is enabled. Since
looking in to effects here isn't super well documented, I'm going to be
a bit more verbose here than I might otherwise just to have a post to
refer back to later (possibly for adding to something under
doc/develop/).

So, tools/qconfig.py can be helpful here. If we use -b to first build
the database of boards and CONFIG sybmols enabled, we can then do:
$ tools/qconfig.py -f FASTBOOT ARCH_SUNXI BLK
to get everything that is FASTBOOT and ARCH_SUNXI and BLK.
We can also do:
$ tools/qconfig.py -f FASTBOOT ARCH_SUNXI BLK ~FASTBOOT_FLASH
To get the same as the above, but do not enable FASTBOOT_FLASH. This
gives us the CHIP platform. This is going to be the one that now enables
the new functionality. If we do the same but for ARCH_ROCKCHIP we get
zero matches. So this is our culprit.

This means the series, and this patch here needs to also disable the new
functionality on the CHIP defconfig.
