In this (TI) case, CONFIG_NOR_BOOT is for a literal "we are building U-Boot (full) for NOR boot, only". So as part of moving things out of config.h files and into Kconfig, and being more "in the light" some odd bits of phrasing and naming will be encountered and hopefully improved. With DM perhaps we'll even finally fix the thing where if you build in, but have no, NOR flash support, U-Boot hangs. That, in a nutshell, is why there was the flag for those platforms. The vast majority of the HW that exists does not have NOR flash (it's only on a fairly uncommon expansion board, and was done to show how custom hardware would work if it wanted to incorporate NOR). -- Tom
