video: parse the video-mode environment variable
Add function video_get_video_mode(), which parses the "video-mode" environment variable and returns each of its components. The format matches the video= command-line option used for Linux: video-mode=<driver>:<xres>x<yres>-<depth>@<freq><,option=string> <driver> The video driver, ignored by U-Boot <xres> The X resolution (in pixels) to use. <yres> The Y resolution (in pixels) to use. <depth> The color depth (in bits) to use. <freq> The frequency (in Hz) to use. <options> A comma-separated list of device-specific options Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com>

+for Linux:
+
+ video-mode=<driver>:<xres>x<yres>-<depth>@<freq><,option=string>
+
+ <driver> The video driver name, ignored by U-Boot
+ <xres> The X resolution (in pixels) to use.
+ <yres> The Y resolution (in pixels) to use.
+ <depth> The color depth (in bits) to use.
+ <freq> The frequency (in Hz) to use.
