Re: [U-Boot-Users] [PATCH]: Fix for bug: U-boot environment corrupt by reading uninitialized flash memory instead of RAM.

This patch fixes this by always using the RAM area when it is created and initialized. (Matches more the behavior as it was prior to this particular commit.)

Hmm...maybe this is a stupid question, but why can't it _always_ use the RAM area to look up the environment? env_init() is one of the first things to be called during bootstrap...

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but if we could get rid of this extra logic, u-boot would become simpler, smaller and faster, right?
