env: allow environment to be amended from control dtb
It can be useful to use the same U-Boot binary for multiple purposes,
say the normal one, one for developers that allow breaking into the
U-Boot shell, and one for use during bootstrapping which runs a
special-purpose bootcmd. Or one can have several board variants that
can share almost all boot logic, but just needs a few tweaks in the
variables used by the boot script.
To that end, allow the control dtb to contain a /config/enviroment
node (or whatever one puts in fdt_env_path variable), whose
property/value pairs are used to update the run-time environment after
it has been loaded from its persistent location.
The indirection via fdt_env_path is for maximum flexibility - for
example, should the user wish (or board logic dictate) that the values
in the DTB should no longer be applied, one simply needs to delete the
fdt_env_path variable; that can even be done automatically by
including a
fdt_env_path = "";
property in the DTB node.
