When setting aside a GPT partition for holding the U-Boot environment,
having a partition type GUID [1] indicating "Linux filesystem" (as
most tools default to) is somewhat misleading - and there's no other
well-known type GUID that is better suited. So to have a canonical
value to put into the type field, define
3de21764-95bd-54bd-a5c3-4abe786f38a8
to mean a partition holding a U-Boot environment.
This is a v5 namespace-name GUID [2], generated [3] from a namespace
of "25cbcde0-8642-47c6-a298-1a3a57cd256b" and name "U-Boot
environment".
Should future type GUIDs be defined in the context of U-Boot, it's
sensible to use that same namespace GUID.

This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot.
To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with
#define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS
Steps to test:
1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen
in the boot loader prompt using
UBOOT #help
zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system
zfsls - list files in a directory (default /)
2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute
zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file]
For example:
UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/
3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute
zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
For example:
UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage
