[PATCH] fw_env: add fallback to Linux's NVMEM based access

From: Rafał Miłecki rafal@milecki.pl
A new DT binding for describing environment data block has been added in Linux's commit 5db1c2dbc04c ("dt-bindings: nvmem: add U-Boot environment variables binding"). Once we get a proper Linux NVMEM driver it'll be possible to use Linux's binary interface for user-space as documented in the: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/nvmem.html
This commits makes fw_env fallback to looking for a compatible NVMEM device in case config file isn't present. In a long term this may make config files redundant and avoid code (info) duplication.

Applied to u-boot/next, thanks!

I see the Linux NVMEM driver [0] does not implement @reg_write. Does this mean only fw_printenv would work for this method?
