Under certain circumstances I was able to create a microSD card with
the FAT file system but corrupt partition table like this one:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdf1p1 778135908 1919645538 1141509631 544,3G 72 unknown
/dev/sdf1p2 168689522 2104717761 1936028240 923,2G 65 Novell Netware 386
/dev/sdf1p3 1869881465 3805909656 1936028192 923,2G 79 unknown
/dev/sdf1p4 2885681152 2885736650 55499 27,1M d unknown
Specifying the partition index made the install script to fail, but
not specifying it makes it work, although it also falls back to use
the first partition in the table.

Add support to build U-Boot for variants with 1GB DDR3.
Add support in U-Boot install firmware script to select the
U-Boot artifact to use basing on variant.

On a CC6, the 'env default -a' command deletes the 'soc_family' variable
that is used on the U-Boot boot scripts to configure the name of the
device tree file to load.
Then if we try to boot into recovery directly (without a reset) because
the variable is not available, it fails to compose the correct name for
the fdt, and gives the error:
reading uImage--ccimx6sbc-id129.dtb
** Unable to read file uImage--ccimx6sbc-id129.dtb **
Force a reset, so the 'soc_family' variable is available again and the
correct fdt_file is loaded.
While on it, add some blank lines to the 'recovery reboot' message, so
it's easier to read.

NAND partitions may have pre-existing UBI volume information
and that will tell U-Boot to use 'ubiwrite' to keep UBI wear
leveling information instead of erasing the NAND partition
beforehand. Given that the UBI support in U-Boot is not
particularly complete and stable, and specially if the NAND
partition table has been changed, this could result into
problems during the UBI volume initialization or during the
update process. To prevent such problems it is better that
the NAND partitions are erased.
This loses the UBI wear leveling information but provides
a more reliable deployment install script.

A corner case requires to save the environment so that the
boot command works after reset.

- boot.txt
Sets the device tree filename basing on the SOM variant read from
the HWID and boots from NAND.
- install_linux_fw_sd
Deploys a full system (as generated by Digi Embedded Yocto) from
a FAT formatted micro SD card into the NAND flash.
The u-boot-dey recipe is now fully shared by ccimx6 and ccimx6ul platforms
so we can remove the platform-specific appends.
