This adds (back) support for non volatile variables. Non volatile
variables are variables which are stored in the environment over
reboot. They are used in the same way as the global variables, but
with a 'nv' command and device. The variables are stored under
/env/nv/, one variable per file. Adding a nv variable automatically
adds a global variable with the same name. Changing a nv variable
also changes the same global variable, but not the other way round.
This allows for example to configure the username as:
nv user=sha; saveenv

It's often useful to get some information about a barebox image
before starting or flashing it. This patch introduces barebox
Image MetaData (IMD). When enabled a barebox image will contain
a list of tags containing the desired information. We have tags
for:
- the barebox release (2014.07.0-00160-g035de50-dirty)
- the build timestamp (#741 Mon Jul 28 15:08:54 CEST 2014)
- the board model the image is intended for
- the device tree toplevel compatible property
Also there is an additional generic key-value store which stores
parameters for which no dedicated tag exists. In this patch it
is used for the memory size an image supports.
Since there is no fixed offset in a barebox image which can be
used for storing the information, the metadata is stored somewhere
in the image and found by iterating over the image. This works
for most image types, but obviously not for SoC images which are
encoded or encrypted in some way.
There is a 'imd' tool compiled from the same sources for barebox,
for the compile host and for the target, so the metadata information
is available whereever needed.
For device tree boards the model and of_compatible tags are automatically
generated.
Example output of the imd tool for a Phytec phyFLEX image:
build: #889 Wed Jul 30 16:08:54 CEST 2014
release: 2014.07.0-00167-g6b2070d-dirty
parameter: memsize=1024
of_compatible: phytec,imx6x-pbab01 phytec,imx6dl-pfla02 fsl,imx6dl
