What is the point of this partition?
Yes for u-boot environment.
If it is to store the environment, it was discussed to add it into the esp partition.
If it is part of esp are we sure env part from esp is always unchanged expect u-boot saveenv?, I would prefer env has separate partition because, there could be chance of formatting esp from host and copy Linux images instead of fastboot write or any other media write.
Please look at the discussion we had at the time. The esp partition is under the firmware control, so it's safe to put our environment there.
