mkconfig: add support for SPL CPU
Add support for specifying a differnt CPU for main u-boot and SPL u-boot builds. This is done by adding an optional SPL CPU after the main CPU in boards.cfg as follows: normal_cpu:spl_cpu This this case CPU will be set to "normal_cpu" during the main u-boot build and "spl_cpu" during the SPL build.

+Normally CPU is assumed to be the same between the SPL and normal
+u-boot build. However it is possible to specify a different CPU for
+the SPL build for cases where the SPL is expected to run on a
+different CPU model from the main u-boot. This is done by specifying
+an SPL CPU in boards.cfg as follows:
+
+ normal_cpu:spl_cpu

+This this case CPU will be set to "normal_cpu" during the main u-boot
+build and "spl_cpu" during the SPL build.
