For example, if user have did some env setting manually before booting OS,
and then he want's to drop all those previous env modification. He
just need to restart the
u-boot which is already in the memory, then the default env parameters
will comes back.

Yes, although the evb_loader department have created two different
evb_loader, one is
proprietary license, and the other is GPL license. Which evb_loader
I'm working with is the GPL
one. All our customers who bought the evb could choose which one
software package
to be shipped (supported) with. However, I'm not belong to that department.
