[PATCH 2/2] commands: stat: add basic handling for cdev links

[Ahmad Fatoum]

cdev links are not symlinks and cdev_by_name will always resolve them.
As the barebox stat command is a convenience for VFS developers, it's
useful to have the command identify links, so let's teach it just that.

There's no behavior difference between specifying -L and not. This
should be rather achieved by removing the concept of cdev links and
using symlinks instead, but that's some refactoring for another time.
