It is +worth noting that aside from things such as NAND or MMC only being +required if a custom platform makes use of these blocks, the following +are required, depending on design: + +- GPIO is only required if DDR3 power is controlled in a way similar to + EVM SK +- SPI is only required for SPI flash, or exposing the SPI bus. + +The following blocks are required: +- I2C, to talk with the PMIC and ensure that we do not run afoul of + errata 1.0.24. + +When removing options as part of customization, +CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS will need additional care to update for your +needs and to remove no longer relevant options as in some cases we +define additional text blocks (such as for NAND or DFU strings). Also +note that all of the SPL options are grouped together, rather than with +the IP blocks, so both areas will need their choices updated to reflect +the custom design. + NAND ====
