[U-Boot] [PATCH] UBIFS: Change ubifsload to set the filesize variable

Dear Marek Vasut,

Yes, we should clean up all these auto-generated environment variables
one day.  But what you propose here is not a good approach:

(1) not all boards use the hush shell, and set_local_var() is only
    available there.
(2) if you make such a change, then you must make it everywhere, and
    you must make sure not to break existent use of these things.

Both is definitely out of the scope of this patch.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
