API wise there is no reason why we should prefer FAT over other
file-systemes.

It should be possible to store the U-Boot variable on a different medium
than the EFI variable.

This function should be __efi_runtime.

Some drivers will support writing at runtime some will not.

I think at initialization you should decide on the one and only
environment driver. And the link to it should be shored in an
__efi_runtime variable.

This function needs to be __efi_runtime.

Please, define a u-class for the different EFI variable stores.
Currently there should be two of them:

- u-boot variables
- EFI env file (on any block device supporting file writes)

The driver should provide an indication if it is supporting runtime access.

If you would want to reuse the env driver you could simply change load()
and save() to accept a filename as parameter.

Buf why mess with env_driver?

I think the EFI variable driver can simply use the functions provided in
include/fs.h: fs_set_blk_dev(), fs_write(), fs_read().
