This feature should never have been made available when driver model

Add a note about the substantial size increment associated with this
option.

Changes in v2:
- Split out new patch to make EFI_LOADER depend on DM and OF_CONTROL
- Note the approximate size of this feature in the help

Didn't Tom eliminate all boards without CONFIG_DM? Shouldn't we get rid
of this symbol?

Are there boards using DM and not OF_CONTROL or OF_CONTROL and not DM?
Why are these separate symbols? Isn't this symbol to be eliminated, too?

lib/efi_loader/efi_disk.c is the only place where we maintain duplicate
code for DM and non-DM. A dependency on CONFIG_BLK (which itself depends
on CONFIG_DM) would make more sense to me. But only in a patch
eliminating the non-BLK code.

There is no unit ISO prefix K. Do you mean KiB?

90 KiB may be the value today. Will you update it regularly? Otherwise
don't put a number here.

I can't see that the effect on size is truly architecture specific. Why
do you refer to 32bit ARM?

Such a comment would better fit into a documentation chapter on
downsizing U-Boot.

  config CMD_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR

Note that we have platforms today with EFI_LOADER without OF_CONTROL, so
this isn't strictly the right requirements.  What do you think here
Heinrich?
