improve device parameter types

[Sascha Hauer]

This series improves the device parameter types and also the
global/nv variables. So far we only had 'int' both for signed
and unsigned variables. This series adds support for explicitly
signed or unsigned variables.
Until now the globalvars were all read/write, but some should really
be readonly (like the barebox version for example). This series
adds support for readonly globalvars.
