uboot_env: Use canonicalized pathname when guessing device type #4

Closed liuming50 closed 4 years ago

liuming50 commented 4 years ago

Some platform uses softlinks to the devices that hold environment data. The mechanism used to figure out the type of flash is not robust in this case. Calculating the canonicalized absolute pathname of the device before trying to guess the type of flash decreases the risk of guessing incorrectly.
