[U-Boot] environment reliability after "env default -f -a"

Hi all,
It was noticed that after resetting the U-Boot environment ("env
default -f -a") some variables are missing, and being added back after
"reset". E.g. in my case it's next variables:
board_name=am57xx_evm_reva3
ethaddr=fc:0f:4b:7b:27:9c
fastboot.board_rev=A.3A
fastboot.cpu=DRA752
fastboot.secure=GP
fastboot.userdata_size=2352351
fdtcontroladdr=fdf0d188
scsidevs=0
serial#=0c0090170f6e0122
stderr=serial at 48020000
stdin=serial at 48020000
stdout=serial at 48020000
ver=U-Boot 2018.11-00028-g3ad6ba7780 (Nov 15 2018 - 21:17:57 +0200)
Most likely those variables are being set on board_late_init(), so we
don't see them after "env default -f -a".
My question is: do we rely on environment to be the same after doing
"env default -f -a", comparing to environment after reboot? If so,
should I provide some sort of env callback to run corresponding
routines on "env default" event (like [1])?
P.S. As I understand, we don't rely on this. But I didn't find this in
documentation, so asking just to be completely sure.
Thanks!
