Even though we're not going to build here real U-Boot binary
it is still required to "configure" U-Boot to get get to the
tools building.

We used to use "sandbox_defconfig" for that purpose but
since U-Boot v2018.11 it started to cause problems [1] due to [2].

So to have less dependencies let's create super minimalistic
configuration which is good enough to allow us to run "make tools".

To allow extended use, we need to enable CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
otherwise we won't have the support.

See:

# MXSImage needs LibSSL
ifneq ($(CONFIG_MX23)$(CONFIG_MX28)$(CONFIG_ARMADA_38X)$(CONFIG_ARMADA_39X)$(CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE),)
HOSTLOADLIBES_mkimage += \
        $(shell pkg-config --libs libssl libcrypto 2> /dev/null ||
echo "-lssl -lcrypto")

If you do that, we can likely rely on this and avoid some extra tools
packages (for example on meta-freescale).

Looking at this, I am wondering if folowing wouldn't be a generic
solution capable of upstreaming:

I posted the proposed patch to U-Boot mailing list as RFC so we can
see what their feedback is about this approach.

So do you think there's a room for improvement in my patch for OE?
Or before we get a missing part for tools/Makefile there's nothing more
to be done in OE?

You could use this attached patch (marking as Pending as it is still
RFC). It allow us to drop or 'mxsboot' recipe on meta-freescale, for
example.
