I don't understand what the "TPL_BOOT" is good for, or how it's
supposed to work.

Assume CONFIG_TPL_U_BOOT is not defined, then TPL_BOOT is not defined,
and this rule will probably cause a build error, doesn't it?

Has this code ever been tested?


And if we use a variable for the "tlp" string, should this not be

        ...
        $(MAKE) -C $(TPL_BOOT)/board/$(BOARDDIR) all

??

Ditto here and in the following - but how is NAND_SPL related to TPL
building? These should be completely independent?

Can we not do with a single variable definition?
