Re-instate a u-boot-fw-utils recipe none

Description Anders Darander 2013-09-17 07:05:25 UTC 
In the recent update to u-boot v2013.07, commit c5fff5748e0aaf7e135fdd464c2104b1d3cbfd5a in oe-core, the old u-boot-fw-utils recipes were replaced with u-boot-fw-utils-cross.

The new recipe do not build the fw-utils tools (fw_printev) for the target MACHINE or ARCH, but rather for the build host.

This tool is most often used on target, thus this is a severe regression.

I was able to find evidence that 'printenv' is available only after the patch for a u-boot build.
