Why? This is clearly not what we want as the default. What we want as
the default is that the system is entirely contained on the SD card.

Ah, so netboot is in fact optional? Please don't make the script more
complicated. Our defconfigs are meant to be minimal and not offer
myriads of options. So can you please remove this "netboot" feature
from the script as well as the corresponding boot.env file?

Creating the binary environment can be done by Buildroot itself, use
the BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_ENVIMAGE option.

So now you always have u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin and never
sunxi-spl.bin ? If that's the case, why do you keep the logic testing
if SPL_IMG exists, and if yes use it, if not fall back to SPL_UBOOT ?

This is great: I like the usage of config fragments!

It would have been good to keep the comments and the general
organization/ordering of the defconfig.
