[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: armv7-a: Enable mtune when CONFIG_CPU_V7A

arch/arm/Makefile has a list of options for mtune, but the entry for CONFIG_CPU_V7A is empty. By tuning for generic-armv7-a both the size of SPL and u-boot shrink a little. For those with limited resources in SPL, every little bit helps.
The following size changed apply to omap3_logic

I think we might need to use cc-option here. We have that around the arch portion due to llvm using 'armv7' not 'armv7-a'.
