[U-Boot-Users] CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE != CFG_ENV_SIZE

[Robin Getz]

In [u-boot.git] / common / env_flash.c around line 171 there is a 

#if CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE > CFG_ENV_SIZE

to be able to mix other data, and the environment info. (Where 'other data' 
could be U-Boot code).

However, in an email a few days ago:

If that is the recommendation (which is fine), why have this code snippet in 
there, and not add something like:

#error Do not do this. Do NOT do this. DO NOT DO THIS.

This is just curiosity - no other reason.
