Install u-boot-fw-utils (libubootenv's fw_printenv/fw_setenv tools) and u-boot-qcom-env (the sub-package carrying fw_env.config) into images built with ci/u-boot-qcom.yml, so the U-Boot environment can be read/written from userspace. Add a fw_env.config that points to the environment partition used to store U-Boot environment variables. Add fw_env.config into u-boot-qcom's SRC_URI so the existing u-boot.inc packaging logic installs/deploys it automatically. Signed-off-by: Aswin Murugan <aswin.murugan@oss.qualcomm.com>
UBOOT_INITIAL_ENV was previously hard-set to "" for all qcom
machines, disabling generation of the U-Boot default/initial
environment reference file entirely.
Re-enable it and override the recipe-level default
(${PN}-initial-env, e.g. "u-boot-qcom-initial-env") with a fixed
"u-boot-initial-env" base name. libubootenv's fw_printenv/fw_setenv
tools look up the default/initial environment specifically under
the name "u-boot-initial-env", so using the provider-specific name
would leave that default-environment lookup unable to find the file.
