[U-Boot] [RFC 3/4] env: Create an environment transition method

Wed Oct 25 12:26:00 UTC 2017


The current environment has been hardcoded to an offset that starts to be
an issue given the current size of our main U-Boot binary.

Introduce an environment method from storing the environment raw in the MMC
to a file in a FAT partition. Eventually, and hopefully before we reach
that limit again, we will have most of our users using that setup, and
we'll be able to retire the raw environment, and gain more room for the
U-Boot binary.
