[U-Boot] ubifsload does not support relative symbolic link

Hi,

I found ubifsload does not support relative symbolic link.

A patch in 2009 said that it could resolve relative symlink. It has
already been merged into "fs/ubifs/ubifs.c". But it does not work
today.

Direct symlink, i.e. "to_target" or "/path/to_target", works. But
relative symlink, i.e. "./to_target" or "../path/to_target", does not
work.

I read ubifs.c in kernel source tree, and found folder "." and ".."
are treated differently.

Can anybody give a solution?

Thanks,
Dev
