From: "Mattijs Korpershoek (TI.com)" <mkorpershoek at kernel.org>

To properly implement Android boot image v4, U-Boot must be able to
add additional entries to the bootconfig.

Add `add_bootconfig_parameters()` to do so.

This has been imported from Google's U-Boot source[1]
The variables/function names have been reworked to be
compliant with U-Boot's coding style.
