Uggh. That's a pretty nasty user-experience since it prevents the user 
from controlling what happens. U-Boot should never over-ride what the 
user requests for alt_info, but rather simply provide help to the user 
allowing them to make use of the system-supplied information if they 
want. I.e. dfu_alt_boot should be set at boot time based on code. The 
user should then be free to define dfu_alt_info as they see fit; either 
hard-coded, or including the value of $dfu_alt_boot /if/ they want.

Anyway, I suppose since this feature exists, we have no choice but to 
support it.

I think the "- " and leading space should be dropped; this isn't a list 
of items. I'd suggest re-phrasing this as:

# The name of the environment variable that the the dfu command reads
# alt info from. If unspecified, this defaults to dfu_alt_info, which is
# valid for most systems. Some systems use a different variable name.
# One example is the Odroid XU3,  which automatically generates
# $dfu_alt_info, each time the dfu command is run, by concatenating
# $dfu_alt_boot and $dfu_alt_system.

That can be just:
dfu_alt_info_env = env__dfu_config.get('alt_info_env_name', \ 
'dfu_alt_info')
