Oh, I misunderstood then. I was mostly interested in fw_setenv ATM
Looking at your fw_setenv commit I have one question:
Will this auto mode also work when erase size < env size ?
We have the case:
# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size
/dev/mtd1 0x0000 0x2000 0x00001000
Above does not work because EB < Env. size, one have to set the sector size
to >= Env. size(0x2000)
