Our build system still parses ad-hoc CONFIG options in header files and generates include/autoconf.mk so that Makefiles can reference them. This gimmick was introduced in the pre-Kconfig days and will be kept until Kconfig migration is completed.
The include/autoconf.mk is generated like follows:
[1] Preprocess include/common.h with -DDO_DEPS_ONLY and retrieve macros into include/autoconf.mk.tmp [2] Reformat include/autoconf.mk.dep into include/autoconf.mk with tools/scripts/define2mk.sed script [3] Remove include/autoconf.mk.tmp
Here, include/autoconf.mk.tmp is similar to u-boot.cfg, which is also generated by preprocessing include/config.h with -DDO_DEPS_ONLY. In other words, there is much overlap among include/autoconf.mk and u-boot.cfg build rules.
So, the idea is to split the build rule of include/autoconf.mk into two stages. The first preprocesses headers into u-boot.cfg. The second parses the u-boot.cfg into include/autoconf.mk. The build rules of u-boot.cfg in Makefile and spl/Makefile will be gone.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
