Prior to Kconfig, the CPU field of boards.cfg could optionally have
":SPLCPU", like "armv7:arm720t".
(Actually this syntax was only used for Tegra platform.)
Now it is not necessary at all because CPU is defined by
CONFIG_SYS_CPU in Kconfig.
For Tegra platform, the Kconfig option is described as follows:
config SYS_CPU
string
default "arm720t" if SPL_BUILD
default "armv7" if !SPL_BUILD
