Following the pattern of other Rockchip devices, enable the U-Boot environment to be stored in MMC. This patch specifically assumes the environment will be stored on the SDcard.

Hi Trevor,
What will happen if there is no Sd-Card, and we boot from eMMC or SPI flash ?
Agree, we should not blindly enable env and expect that it can be stored on sd-card. If anything, it should preferably be saved/loaded from the device where TPL/SPL was booted from.
Personally I always run my devices with ENV_IS_NOWHERE, with standard boot and extlinux or efi as the preferred way to boot, I do not see why normal end-users with a single OS really have a need for a saved env, please educate me :-)
The rockchip pattern is usually to have a standard config for all boards and it is not stored anywhere.
Unfortunately lots of rockchip boards have blindly enabled ENV_IN_MMC and force it to use sd-card. However, before enabling same forced behavior on new boards I would recommend ensuring adding support for allowing env to follow same load order as FIT (spl-boot-order).
Regards, Jonas
Kever, Jonas, please correct me if I am wrong.
