[U-Boot] question about himport_r() and possible separator

  admittedly a simple question that i'll be able to test once i get
into the lab later today, but if someone knows the answer, terrific.

  putting u-boot on a target board where there already exists, at a
well-known address, a set of "var=val" settings, with the format:

  var1=val1 var2=val2 ... varn=valn\0

that is:

 1) single space-separated
 2) terminated by null byte

will current himport_r() handle importing this into a hashtable if i
specify a space character as separator, ***given*** that there is no
terminating space character after the final assignment?

  perusing the code, it *looks* like that will work, given that i can
get the exact length of the values with strlen(), and i hand that off
to himport_r(), it appears that all will be well.

  am i overlooking any subtle gotcha here?
