 You missed two things:

- a Config.in.legacy entry should be added, with a help text that explains to
use OpenSBI instead. Normally we add a 'select' to do that automatically, but
I'm not sure i that is appropriate here (since you need to set the platform and
possibly the linux payload option).

- Remove the package from DEVELOPERS as well.

 Arnout
