Hello Horatiu,

just tried current mainline U-Boot on imx6ull based board with
Env in SPI NOR. Your commit "9a9d66f5eff0"

env: add spi_flash_read_env function

breaks reading Env from SPI NOR in my case...

If I interprete your patch correct, you only read until the 2 0x0
in the env ... but for the env crc, the hole CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
must be read ... else missing for crc calculation ...

Hmm... following patch fixes for me the issue:

-       memset(buf, 0x0, len);

         for (int i = 0; i < len / page_size; ++i) {

                                          &((char *)buf)[addr]);

But if I make a bigger ENV_SIZE this may break again...

bye,
Heiko
