    kbuild: generate u-boot.cfg as a byproduct of include/autoconf.mk · e19b0fb4

    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.
