The standalone API do not include filesystem operations, only raw device
operations.

I think it would be a great addition to add generic filesystem
operations to the standalone API. The fs_read() and fs_write() functions
should be possible to export via the standalone API as-is, but should
probably be wrapped a little bit to select which filesystem/partition to
operate on, similar to do_load() but without the u-boot env magics or
variable arguments.

any specification of filesystem type in the API (if needed) should be
done in string form to ensure a long term stable API I think.
