For USB, all you need to do is to configure it in and to copy Marek's clock
setup in board_early_init_f for m28evk_config into your own config. Make
sure you change SSP2 into SSP1, because the m28evk module uses a
different SSP2 for it's second MMC controller, whereas the FreeScale
mx28evk board uses SSP1.

To store your environment in MMC, you still need to patch
board/freescale/common/sdhc_boot.c to make sure it's stored at the correct
offset. You can find this patch on this mailing list. Without it, saving your
environment will overwrite the MBR/ptable and you board won't boot next time.

I don't know why that doesn't work, but I don't have any experience there.
Early this year I rewrote the broken FreeScale scripts to create boot streams,
so I know a little about the way it works, but I no longer use those since the
U-Boot tools do such a good job. You can have the scripts though.

Cheers,
