Why isn't "silent" defined as needed  in  your  defualkt  environment
that gets used when there is no valid environment?

The easiest way is  set  up  everything  as  needed,  or  example  by
including  the  environment  sector(s)  with  the U-Boot image (i. e.
chosing a configuration which uses ENV_IS_EMBEDDED).
