  i'm trying to add the u-boot-fw-utils package to an image for which
i don't have a u-boot recipe available for the target board, so i
can't just set UBOOT_MACHINE. i just want to know what i have to
provide to the u-boot-fw-utils recipe in terms of u-boot config info
manually to get a build.

  i have the relevant info for the /etc/fw_env.config file that
fw_printenv and fw_setenv need to run, i just don't know how to add
that to the build process.
