  Actually, I don't even see the need to ask the user anything. If we are 
building U-Boot, I don't see why we would ever want to use the U-Boot 
tools from upstream - that just adds a risk of incompatibility between 
the two.

  So I would propose to remove the BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_UBOOT_SOURCE 
option, and instead make it conditional on BR2_TARGET_UBOOT.
