Haven't tried it, but if this does not work, then it is a bug that needs to be fixed. Do you have access to a mx53 qsb board? Does it work there?
Suffix _f trditionally means "running from flash", i. e. this is before relocation to RAM. Here we have usually only a read-ony data segment, no BSS at all, and only limted stack. All complicated stuff like setenv is only supposed to be available after relocation.
Just tested on real hardware and the below change works:

On mx6 we have several boards calling setenv from the board files.
Actual behaviour is hardware-dependent, but it's better not to make any such guesses.
Yes, but not sure how a mx6 can differ from a mx5 in getting setenv to work.
