So I've had a quick look about what could go possibly go away in our
current armv8 config (using the pine64+ defconfig). Let me know if
some are actually vitals:

 - FIT_ENABLE_SHA256_SUPPORT
 - CONSOLE_MUX
 - CMD_CRC32
 - CMD_LZMADEC
 - CMD_UNZIP
 - CMD_LOADB
 - CMD_LOADS
 - CMD_MISC (actually implementing the command sleep)
 - ISO_PARTITION (yes. For CDROMs.)
 - VIDEO_BPP8, VIDEO_BPP16
 - VIDEO_ANSI
 - SHA256
 - LZMA

Removing those options make the u-boot.itb binary size going from
516kB to 478kB, making it functional again *and* allowing us to enable
the DT overlays that seem way more important than any feature
mentionned above (and bumps the size to 483kB).

Let me know what you think,
Maxime
