U-Boot supports access of both ext2 and ext4 filesystems, either in read-only
  mode or in read-write mode.

  First, to enable support for both ext4 (and, automatically, ext2 as well),

  but without selecting the corresponding commands, enable one of the following:

    CONFIG_FS_EXT4	(for read-only)
    CONFIG_EXT4_WRITE	(for read-write)

  Next, to select the ext2-related commands:

    * ext2ls
    * ext2load

  or ext4-related commands:

    * ext4size
    * ext4ls
    * ext4load

  use one or both of:

    CONFIG_CMD_EXT2
    CONFIG_CMD_EXT4

  Selecting either of the above automatically selects CONFIG_FS_EXT4 if it
  wasn't enabled already.

  In addition, to get the write access command "ext4write", enable:

    CONFIG_CMD_EXT4_WRITE

  which automatically selects CONFIG_EXT4_WRITE if it wasn't defined

  already.
  
  Also relevant are the generic filesystem commands, selected by:

    CONFIG_CMD_FS_GENERIC

  
  This does not automatically enable EXT4 support for you, you still need
  to do that yourself.
  
  Some sample commands to test ext4 support:

  1. Check that the commands can be seen in the output of U-Boot help:
  
  	UBOOT #help
  	...

  	ext4load- load binary file from a Ext4 file system
  	ext4ls  - list files in a directory (default /)

  	ext4size - determine a file's size

  	ext4write- create a file in ext4 formatted partition

  	...
  
  2. To list the files in an ext4-formatted partition, run:

  	ext4ls <interface> <dev[:part]> [directory]

  	For example:
  	UBOOT #ext4ls mmc 0:5 /usr/lib

  3. To read and load a file from an ext4-formatted partition to RAM, run:

  	ext4load <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]

  	For example:
  	UBOOT #ext4load mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 uImage

  4. To write a file to an ext4-formatted partition.

  	a) First load a file to RAM at a particular address for example 0x30007fc0.

  	Now execute ext4write command:

  	ext4write <interface> <dev[:part]> [filename] [Address] [sizebytes]

  	For example:
  	UBOOT #ext4write mmc 2:2 /boot/uImage 0x30007fc0 6183120
  	(here 6183120 is the size of the file to be written)
  	Note: Absolute path is required for the file to be written
