To use CONFIG_ZYNQMP_SPL_PM_CFG_OBJ_FILE, a developer must pull down the U-Boot source and run ./tools/zynqmp_pm_cfg_obj_convert.py to convert their pm_cfg_obj.c into U-Boot's PMU loader format, then feed that file back to U-Boot during build.
Instead, by doing the conversion in U-Boot during the build, we can simplify the developer's build system. And it ensures that if zynqmp_pm_cfg_obj_convert.py is updated, the pm_cfg_obj will stay in sync with U-Boot.
Add a config to set the file format, but leave the default as binary type for backwards compatibility.
Based on description I can't see the reason for it. pmu config object should be aligned with pmu not with u-boot itself.
Also using this script is just one way how to get pmufw config object. I personally don't use it but I can't see any issue to be in u-boot project if others want to use it.
