Yes, I'm thinking about use case when developer uses eMMC exclusively
(no SD card). In that case the environment should be stored somewhere,
and that should be eMMC. In other words, once eMMC support is fully
available in U-Boot, we can think more about eMMC use-case, because
developers usually prefer to work with eMMC. Also see how it's done in
DRA7 config, for example. And in SD card use case we can still work
with environment stored in eMMC. Seems like win-win to me.
