That's a good idea. This way we can tell the users to put the firmware
to arch/arm/boards/.../env/firmware before compilation and avoid
redistribution problems if there are any. Another plus is that the
barebox binary is not larger than it has to be.
The only downside is that the environment gets bigger as it duplicates
the firmware, but even this could be avoided if we add a second (non
environment) filesystem image.
