[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] Add atomic write to fw_setenv for environments on filesystems

For environments stored on filesystems where you can't have a redundant
configuration, rather than just over-writing the existing environment
in fw_setenv, do the tradtional create temporary file, rename, sync,
sync directory dance to achieve ACID semantics when writing through
fw_setenv.

Note that this series triggers large numbers of checkpatch warnings because
of the existing code style:

  warning: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis '('
  check: Avoid CamelCase: <HaveRedundEnv>
