Hey Simon, Masahiro
May I suggest an alternative solution to this issue.
What if each Kconfigs option could be set as "y" (compile for u-boot only )or "s" (compile for u-boot and SPL) Just as the kernel can set Kconfig
to "y" or "m".
With minor modifications to the Makefile, SPL target will compile "obj-s"
and u-boot target will compile "obj-s" and "obj-y"
What do you think ?
Interesting.
A little comments.
Is there any possibility that some files should be compiled for SPL only? (I do not think we have much.)
Perhaps, obj-y : for U-boot only obj-s : for SPL only oby-ys: for both I am not sure..
How about "a" (as in all targets) instead of "sy". It will look better in the menuconfig square brackets Maybe TPL should also be added as "t" option.
- This idea is only applicable for bool options. We still have to keep duplication for int/hex options such as
CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE.
But, this idea will help clean up much because most of configs are boolean.

Hi everyone,
I’m working on the latest u-boot 2015.04 trying to rebase my repository to latest code.
I would suggest going with upstream/master (targeting 2015.07) since there are several driver model changes since 2015.04 (USB, PCI, Ethernet). There are still patches going in but the bulk of it should be
there.
And I have question regarding patch e02ee2548afe (kconfig: switch to single .config configuration)
Issues that I face in the current solution (single .config):
For my usage most of the CONFIG options will not supported in the SPL, we need the SPL very tiny and most of the CONFIG will be enabled in the u-boot, need to undef/disable(set=n) for every CONFIG in scripts/Makefile.uncmd_spl/ include/config_uncmd_spl.h
Also for future usage if we want to delete the defines of the commands from the include file and move it to defconfig file, then need to undef them in the SPL code.
Masahiro is the expert here. The idea is to use SPL-specific options for
SPL.
For example CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT. This is much the same as before.
I suggest you create some SPL options for your new features, so that they are only enabled in SPL when you want them.
Do you planning for another solution for this issue?
Also, if you push your tree to github (or somewhere) I or Masahiro might be able to comment on specifics.
