We've not used uEnv.txt files for this in Freescale's Yocto support
but patched the U-Boot source code to make it work out of box. I think
these patches could go in now that Freescale is using Yocto more
extensivelly for ARM platforms so we avoid  same patches to be ported
for every new U-Boot release.
