[PATCH] fw_env: add fallback to Linux's NVMEM based access

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

A new DT binding for describing environment data block has been added in
Linux's commit 5db1c2dbc04c ("dt-bindings: nvmem: add U-Boot environment
variables binding"). Once we get a proper Linux NVMEM driver it'll be
possible to use Linux's binary interface for user-space as documented
in the:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/nvmem.html

This commits makes fw_env fallback to looking for a compatible NVMEM
device in case config file isn't present. In a long term this may make
config files redundant and avoid code (info) duplication.
