[U-Boot] autoscr command failure saveenv dataflash

Hi,

the reason for this problem is the definition of

#define DATAFLASH_BUSY			0x00
#define DATAFLASH_OK			0x01
in the file /include/dataflash.h.

All functions return DATAFLASH_OK and in the file /common/cmd_nvedit.c

function do_saveenv()

return (saveenv() ? 1 : 0);

than cause an error.

I have modified it to return (saveenv() == 1 ? 0 : 1);

and this works for my, but i'am not sure if this is the best way of fixing
the problem.

Where is your environment located?  What parser do you use,
i.e. "regular" or "hush"?

I presume there is a bad return code somewhere.  If you have the
hush-parser enebled, try this for a start:

=> if saveenv ; then echo ok ; else echo failed ; fi
