Currently not, is it a big deal to build u-boot as well?
The reason for this is mainly that fw_printenv isn't available
seperately, so we would need to double quite a lot of the u-boot
handling if we were to move it to a seperate package, and they are most
of the time used together.

That's naturally an option as well.
