Stefan, please  check  if  this  is  really  what  you  want  to  do.
Environmentin EEPROM is *strongly* discouraged. It is slow like hell,
and  even more unreliable. Do *not* do this. Check if you can use any
other storage - NOR or NAND flash, or the like.

Heiko, if Stefan does not change his mind, then I suggest you ACK the
patch and I apply it then to the 5xxx repo?

Best regards,
