I'm not convinced that ENV_OFFSET actually points where the description 
says it does. (-CONFIG_ENV_SIZE + CONFIG_TDX_CFG_BLOCK_OFFSET) is (-8192 
+ -512). The original comment states that an ENV_OFFSET of -8192 locates 
the environment at the end of a sector, so shifting it 512 bytes earlier 
in the flash can't possible now align it with a different sector? Should 
ENV_OFFSET be shifted down by a whole sector size by this patch, i.e. 
should +CONFIG_TXT_CFG_BLOCK_OFFSET be rounded up to a sector size to 
match the comment?
