[U-Boot] Adding new U-Boot Command.

Hi Tuma,

This really depends if you want to implement a command which is useful
for all boards, then it should be below common/ or if it is special to
one board.  Then it should go into the board directory.

You have all the source to study.  Look into how other people do it.
Search the history for commits adding new commands and study them.  For
example this commit[1] adds new commands to an already existing file,
but it is a start.

> And how can I add my new file to U-Boot binary?

Make sure it is mentioned in the relevant Makefile.

Cheers

PS: Is the LCD display working now?

While  the list of  different methods is not  endless, it is certainly
pretty long, with new ones being dreamed up all the time. Fortunately,
space limitations prevent us from looking at all of them.
