[U-Boot] [PATCH] Makefile: Do not create empty autoconf.mk on error

The build rules of - include/autoconf.mk.dep - include/autoconf.mk - include/spl-autoconf.mk - include/tpl-autoconf.mk were wrong.
They created empty files (which are never updated) if an error occurrs during preprocessing.

Before this commit, Makefile created empty files such as - include/autoconf.mk - include/spl-autoconf.mk - include/tpl-autoconf.mk - include/autoconf.mk.dep on error.
For example, try "make" with a wrong CROSS_COMPILE like this:
$ make mrproper $ make omap4_panda_config Configuring for omap4_panda board... $ make CROSS_COMPILE=foobar- all ---<snip>--- /bin/bash: foobar-gcc: command not found make[1]: *** [lib/asm-offsets.s] Error 127
Of cource, make failed.
And just check include/autoconf.mk, include/spl-autoconf.mk, etc. They exist and are all empty.
And then, try "make" with a correct CROSS_COMPILE:
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- all
make will proceed with empty include/autoconf.mk and fail.
A build rule of include/autoconf.mk is absolutely wrong:
$(obj)include/autoconf.mk: $(obj)include/config.h @$(XECHO) Generating $@ ; \ set -e ; \ : Extract the config macros ; \ $(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -DDO_DEPS_ONLY -dM include/common.h | \ sed -n -f tools/scripts/define2mk.sed > $@.tmp && \ mv $@.tmp $@
This code does not work as we expect on error because it does not detect the error of $(CPP). An error usually occurrs during $(CPP), whereas sed always succeeds. ( "set -e" is also meaningless, here. ) A empty include/autoconf.mk is created on error. (And it is never updated because it is newer than include/config.h)
FYI: A pipe return the exit status of the last command. For example,
$ command1 | command2
returns exit status of "command2", not "command1".

Hi.
I noticed a trivial problem of this patch: include/{autoconf.mk.tmp,spl-autoconf.mk.tmp,tpl-autoconf.mk.tmp} remain on success.
I posted v2 to fix this issue.
