Please add a DEFINE for this variable at the start here.
And can we make it default to TRUE?
[SAMI] I have done some experiments and I think we can make this selection at runtime based on the CFI entry in the Kvmtool provided DT. I will submit a separate patch series that enables the dynamic detection of CFI flash and either uses the Nor Flash storage or Emulated Runtime variable. I can subsequently drop this patch from the RFC v2 series.

Not sure what the difference is, but we tend to use
!if $(ENABLE_CFI_FLASH) == TRUE
(and use a local DEFINE - see above)
[SAMI] I think we can drop this patch once we have dynamic detection of the CFI flash interface.
