There is nothing CUIMAGE specific with this, so why make it so?  Other
platforms may like to use it.

It may be better to do it like this, as there will be more platforms that
need to hook in specific files.

src-plat-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_UIMAGE) += $(cuboot-plats:%=cuboot-%.c)
src-plat-$(CONFIG_XXX) += ...
src-plat-$(CONFIG_YYY) += ...
...
src-plat := of.c $(src-plat-y)

It would be nice if you could make the logic such that you don't need this ifeq.
