Ah...so it breaks JFFS2 as well? I doubt that changing the environment
address fixes that...

Hmm, yeah, maybe I should post the revert again.

I have to admit I'm completely confused about how u-boot deals with
virtual and physical addresses these days. It used to expose only
physical addresses through external interfaces, but now it looks like
it's a bit of both, and it's impossible to tell which goes where.

Yes, that will probably be a good idea if it has the same problem with
saveenv.
