[U-Boot] [PATCHv2] env: enable accessing the environemnt in EXT4 partition

[Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz]

the following commit enables accessing the environment in an ext4
partition. In order to do that, some definitions need to be added to
include/configs/board_x.h file.

For example to store the environment in a file named "uboot.env" in MMC
"0", where partition "1" contains the EXT4 filesystem, you should define:

  EXT4_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART        "0:1"
  EXT4_ENV_INTERFACE              "mmc"
  EXT4_ENV_FILE                   "/uboot.env"
