[U-Boot] [RFC, 1/2] NVMe: add NVMe driver support

Hi Tom,

As I know, the CONFIG_BLK is not supported on some platforms' defconfig (# CONFIG_BLK is not set), such as the fsl-qoriq platform.
I find when 'CONFIG_BLK=y', then 'fsl-esdhc-mmc' device can't work normally.

So, in order to make sure the NVMe driver is available on all the platforms, I support for both with and without BLK.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Zhikang Zhang

Why support for both with and without BLK?  Thanks!
