Store U-Boot environnement in eMMC on i.MX8MPlus

[Joris OFFOUGA]

Hi all,

I try to store my U-Boot environment in eMMC on i.MX8MPlus, I then remove the CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE option, and I then put the following options:
CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV=1
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET=0x400000
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE=0x2000
CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART=0

However during the boot sequence I get stuck here:

U-Boot SPL 2023.01 (Jan 25 2023 - 08:23:12 +0100)

DDRINFO: DRAM rate 3000MTS

whereas if I have the option CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE=y
