[U-Boot] F2FS support

[Gerasimov, Anton]

Hi Lukasz, hi Marek,

thank you for your feedbacks. I'm looking for a solution to improve the
resilience of our system against a sudden power loss under extensive
write load. Some tests [1] show that F2FS might be more robust than
ext4, so I wanted to give it a try. Not sure if it is really worth it,
there are opposite opinions as well.

Best,
Anton
