[U-Boot] Adding F2FS support

Hello,

I've started to work on adding F2FS support to U-boot.

After a quick search of the U-Boot mailing archives, I see that support for
multiple file systems, like ZFS was already added by reusing existing GRUB code.

F2FS was added to GRUB last year, in this commit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=71f9e4ac44142af52c3fc1860436cf9e432bf764
so I'd port that to U-Boot.

F2FS has also been added to the Linux kernel in version 3.8 and is licensed under GNU GPLv2,
so there shouldn't be any issues with that as far as I know.

I plan to use the ZFS patch as a starting point, and reference other fs patches
and recent ZFS updates when needed.

Are there any potential issues or anything else I should know before I start
working on the patch?

Regards,
Juraj Vijtiuk
