This patch adds support for CFG_ENV_OFFSET_PATCHED and CFG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. Both try to solve the problem of fixing the environment location in NAND flash at compile time, which doesn't work well if the NAND flash has a bad block at exactly that location. CFG_ENV_OFFSET_PATCHED puts the environment in a global variable. You can then use the linker script to put that variable to a fixed location in the u-boot image. Then you can use bianry patching during the production flash process. The idea of CFG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB is to store the environment offset in the NAND OOB data of block 0. We can do this in case the vendor makes a guarantee that block 0 never is a factory-default bad block.
