[PATCH] socfpga: Find partition with environment via device tree

socfpga loads the environment from a file named "barebox.env" located
on the device "/dev/mmc0.1".  Both those names are hard-coded in the
socfpga code and can't be changed.

Barebox supports selecting the location of the environment using a
"barebox,environment" node in device tree's "chosen" node.

Change socfpga to use this mechanism by looking for barebox.env in the
device or partition specified in the device tree.

The filename is still hard-coded.  Someone who wants to change it
could put that into the device tree too (new file-name property?  3rd
string in device-path?).

Remove the stat() call in socfpga_env_init(), as mount() already
checks if the device exists.  Also remove device_detect_by_name() call
as the barebox env device code now takes care of that for us.

OMAP could do the same thing...
