Many thanks. I did some tests with this version and it seems to work
fine in general on the i.MX6ULL EVK. My first tests show that reading
and writing has no issues. So this is very promising. The only thing
I noticed is, that when using SPI for environment via
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH, the board hangs upon bootup while trying
to read the env. Since you already added some debug print's to the
env code, I suspect that you also did run into this problem.

I'll try to help with this driver version. At least I can debug this
env issue and can always do some test on my mx6ull platform for you
once you have any updates here. Just let me know.

This one does not work for me on the i.MX6ULL EVK. "sf read" command
returns almost immediately and the data is not read as it seems. I
did not dig into this deeper though.

Thanks,
