yeah, this part is most challenging, because this driver is designed
based on file system implementation, which is abstract from physical
device. So, it requires data like interface type, device number and
partition to work. Wonder how we can get those data if based on
physical storage node.

How to find the interface type of the file system based on the physical
device node? Some devices like NAND and QSPI could share the similar
interface type like UBI.

This driver is designed not only supporting the FDT, it also work with
U-boot env, U-boot script and without FDT.

For example, fpga loadfs commands from U-boot console can call this
driver to load bitstream file from the storage.
