The EFI loader support takes around 31kB on an ARMv7 board, which makes us trip across the size limit we've had on the U-Boot binary.
Since it's not an essential feature, disable it by default for ARCH_SUNXI so that we get back some extra room for user customisations.
Does this disable it on aarch64 boards by default such as the Pine64? If so NAK as Fedora, SUSE and I'm pretty sure Debian all use EFI to boot aarch64 devices and this would regress this for all those distros.

Debian uses package flash-kernel by default. Flash-kernel generates a new boot.scr script every time you install a new kernel.
Packages grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm64 are provided for those who prefer to boot their ARM board via EFI.
All sunxi boards use SPL=y. So why should there be a size limit crossed? Is there an unsuitable limit built in to the second stage boot loader? Then this should be fixed instead of castrating the configuration.
