What is the source code for the U-Boot-Fw-utils when it is compiled?

This shows that when u-boot-fw-utils is compiled, the downloaded u-boot source code must be u-boot-imx. In order to achieve this, we need to add recipes to yocto’s u-boot-imx, and we can successfully compile fw_printevn and fw_setenv through the bitbake command.
