The fs-loader driver reads env storage_interface and uses it to load firmware file into memory using the medium set by env. Update the driver to use env fw_storage_interface as this variable is only used to load firmwares. The env storage_interface will act as fallback so that the existing implementations do not break.
Also update the FS Loader documentation accordingly.
So why do you want to do this? I don't see what the point of renaming the variable is, since you are not e.g. adding any new functionality, and we have to pay for the rename in code size.
I am upstreaming TI's ICSSG driver for u-boot and during code review Roger Quadros rogerq@kernel.org commented asking to rename this variable [1]. I think the motive here was to keep all variables used by fs-loader driver with 'fw_' prefix. All other variables had 'fw_' prefix except for storage_interface.
