From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

Broadcom uses U-Boot for some of their recent platforms like BCM4908.
They decided to use modified environment variables variables format
though. Their header includes 2 extra 32 b fields at the beginning.

The first field meaning is unknown, the second one stores length of env
data block. Example (length 0x4000):
$ hexdump -n 32 -C -s 0x40000 /dev/mtdblock0
00040000  76 6e 45 75 00 40 00 00  34 89 7a 82 49 4d 41 47  |vnEu. at ..4.z.IMAG|
00040010  45 3d 4e 41 4e 44 3a 31  4d 2c 31 30 32 34 4d 00  |E=NAND:1M,1024M.|

Add a custom "compatible" value to allow describing Broadcom devices
properly.
