[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] cmd_partuuid: add command to retrieve a partition's UUID

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

This implements the following:

partuuid mmc 0:1
  -> prints the partition's UUID.
partuuic mmc 0:1 uuid
  -> sets environment variable "uuid" to the partition's UUID.

This can be useful when writing a bootcmd which searches all known
devices for something bootable, and then wants the kernel to use the
same partition as the root device, e.g.:

partuuid ${devtype} ${devnum}:${rootpart} uuid
setenv bootargs root=PARTUUID=${uuid} ...
