Commit 51148790 added scripts/multiconfig.py written in Python 2 to adjust Kconfig for U-Boot.
It has been hard for Python 3 users because Python 2 and Python 3 are not compatible with each other.
We are not happy about adding a new host tool dependency (in this case, Python version dependency) for the core build process. After some discussion, we decided to use only basic tools.
The script may get a bit unreadable by shell scripting, but we believe it is worthwhile.
In addition, this commit revives "<board>_config" target that is equivalent to "<board>_defconfig" for backwards compatibility. It is annoying to adjust various projects which use U-Boot.
Personally, I think this change isn't justified; I see no reason to replace the perfectly working existing script. Still, if that's what's desired...
