This option has crept into use with some boards. Add a warning to try to
prevent this.
As an example:

We have just discussed this in another thread. There seem to be ~109
defconfigs in the tree that enable OF_EMBED.
I doubt all of them do this for fun, so we might want to collect the
reasons they do so. I do know two:
- socfpga_stratix10_defconfig needs this to get a correct u-boot-spl.hex
Let's fix that then.
- I would need it to ensure in SPL, the DTB is in one block with the
other readonly parts. Without OF_EMBED, we have '.text', '.bss', DT.
Similarly, let's change that.
CONFIG_OF_EMBED should not be a work-around for missing features that we need.
I'm with you there. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to argue to use
OF_EMBED, just wanted to list the use cases I know so that we only fix
them once instead of letting everyone fixing them on their own.
Regards,
Simon
