>From your description it seems like the board I was working on must have
had an environment on NOR or eMMC which could be loaded but did not allow
the board to come up.
Then, the patch forces u-boot to use the default environment despite an
existing env on NOR or eMMC.
> This reverts commit 8d61237edbf6314a701cf78da2c5893a73ff5438.
>
> This commit broke environment on literally every board I have access
> to, with this revert in place, environment works as it should again.
> The problem I observe with this patch is that saved environment in
> either SPI NOR or eMMC is never used, the system always falls back
> to default environment. The 'saveenv' command does succeed, but then
> after reset, the default env is again used.
>
> Furthermore, the commit introduced duplicate code in env_init(), this:
> "
> if (!prio) {
> gd->env_addr = (ulong)&default_environment[0];
> gd->env_valid = ENV_INVALID;
>
> return 0;
> }
>
> if (ret == -ENOENT) {
> gd->env_addr = (ulong)&default_environment[0];
> gd->env_valid = ENV_INVALID;
>
> return 0;
> }
> "
>
> Furthermore, the commit is missing DCO SoB line.
>
> Also note that upstream does not support UltraZed EG board, so
> this might have been a patch pulled from downstream which did
> depend on some other downstream behavior.
