Very good point.  I think when I did the class, for SD card
generation, we hadn't this around (or I missed it).

Looking at it, this should indeed be dropped but it is going to need
some work as we need to provide a u-boot-dummy for the cases when we
don't need a bootloader in the SD card image, as it is the case for
Nitrogen boards for example.

We can discuss how to address it for 1.7 later.
