[PATCH v4 0/1] Introduce fastboot oem board command

Changes V1 -> V2 [1]: - Added an example of using the command as requested by Sean Anderson [2].
Changes V2 -> V3 [3]: - Rebase over uboot/master. - Add documentation. - Remove example added in V2 [1].
Changes V3 -> V4 [4]: - Corrected documentation accroding to Quentin Schulz comments [5].

Alexey Romanov (1): fastboot: introduce 'oem board' subcommand
doc/android/fastboot.rst | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/fastboot/Kconfig | 7 +++++++ drivers/fastboot/fb_command.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/fastboot.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 56 insertions(+)

Currently, fastboot protocol in U-Boot has no opportunity to execute vendor custom code with verifed boot. This patch introduce new fastboot subcommand fastboot oem board:<cmd>, which allow to run custom oem_board function.
Default implementation is __weak. Vendor must redefine it in board/ folder with his own logic.
For example, some vendors have their custom nand/emmc partition flashing or erasing. Here some typical command for such use cases:
- flashing:
$ fastboot stage bootloader.img $ fastboot oem board:write_bootloader
- erasing:
$ fastboot oem board:erase_env
