[PATCH v5 1/1] fastboot: introduce 'oem board' subcommand

Currently, fastboot protocol in U-Boot has no opportunity
to execute vendor custom code with verifed boot. This patch
introduce new fastboot subcommand fastboot oem board:<cmd>,
which allow to run custom oem_board function.

Default implementation is __weak. Vendor must redefine it in
board/ folder with his own logic.

For example, some vendors have their custom nand/emmc partition
flashing or erasing. Here some typical command for such use cases:

- flashing:

  $ fastboot stage bootloader.img
  $ fastboot oem board:write_bootloader

- erasing:

  $ fastboot oem board:erase_env

+Running Custom Vendor Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+U-Boot allows you to execute custom fastboot logic, which can be defined
+in board/ files. It can still be used for production devices with verified
+boot, because the vendor defines logic at compile time by implementing
+fastboot_oem_board() function. The attacker will not be able to execute
+custom commands / code. For example, this can be useful for custom flashing
+or erasing protocols::
+
+    $ fastboot stage bootloader.img
+    $ fastboot oem board:write_bootloader
+
+In this case, ``cmd_parameter`` argument of the function ``fastboot_oem_board()``
+will contain string "write_bootloader" and ``data`` argument is a pointer to
+fastboot input buffer, which contains the contents of bootloader.img file.
