Should they though? If there's no SPL, surely we still want to generate the same output filenames, so that consumers of the binaries don't have to care whether a particular board needs the SPL tacked onto the binary.
In other words, rather than:
u-boot-nodtb-tegra.bin == SPL + U-Boot u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin == SPL + U-Boot + DTB
... when SPL is disabled, shouldn't we generate:
u-boot-nodtb-tegra.bin == U-Boot u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin == U-Boot + DTB
That would require modifying the rules that generate those files not to include the SPL binary in the concatenation, rather than simply not generating those files at all.
When the SPL build is disabled, we are already generating u-boot.bin and u-boot-dtb.bin. Do we really want to generate two more binaries with the same content but with different names ?
