x86: Add CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT to delay environment loading
This option delays loading of the environment until later, so that only the default environment will be available to U-Boot. This can address the security risk of untrusted data being used during boot. When CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT is defined, it is convenient to have a run-time way of enabling loadinlg of the environment. Add this to the fdt as /config/delay-environment. Note: This patch depends on http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/194342/ Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer@chromium.org>
