Don't overdesign this.  Keep it simple.  If you want, you can split up
the settings into several functional blocks (variable groups; this
could even be mapped into the actual U-Boot env, too).  Then simply
concatenate the right selection of parts.

See my previous message to Simon - keep the format compatible with
"env import/export -t".

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
