[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/5] Allow U-Boot scripts to be placed in a .env file

Mon Jun 24 22:46:03 CEST 2013
At present U-Boot environment variables, and thus scripts, are defined
by CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS. It is painful to add large amounts of text
to this file and dealing with quoting and newlines is harder than it
should be. It would be better if we could just type the script into a
text file and have it included by U-Boot.
Add a feature that brings in a .env file associated with the board
config, if present. To use it, create a file in a board/<vendor>/env
directory called <board>.env (or common.env if you want the same
environment for all boards).
The environment variables should be of the form "var=value". Values can
extend to multiple lines. See the README under 'Environment Variables:'
for more information and an example.
Comments are not permitted in the environment with this commit.

Changes in v2:
- Add additional include to env_embedded to deal with its dirty trick
- Add dependency rule so that the environment is rebuilt when it changes
- Add information and updated example script to README
- Move .env file from include/configs to board/
- Use awk script to process environment since it is much easier on the brain

working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
+The default environment is created in include/env_default.h, and can be
+augmented by various CONFIG defines. See that file for details. In
+particular you can define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS in your board file
+to add environment variables (see 'CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS' above
+for details).
+
+It is also possible to create an environment file with the name
+board/<vendor>/env/<board>.env for your board. If that file is not present
+then U-Boot will look for board/<vendor>/env/common.env so that you can
+have a common environment for all vendor boards.
+
+This is a plain text file where you can type your environment variables in
+the form 'var=value'. Blank lines and multi-line variables are supported.
+
+For example, for snapper9260 you would create a text file called
+board/bluewater/env/snapper9260.env containing the environment text.
