Add support for non volatile variables
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 Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
