Current Hikey configuration allows us to store u-boot environment on uSD card. But this will be useless if uSD card is not inserted, hence use the onboard eMMC memory for storing environment at Boot1 partition. While we are at it, let's increase the boot delay to 10s also.

It's your board, but do you _really_ want 10s? We moved a whole bunch of boards down from 10s a long time ago as 2-3s isn't hard to break in to for users nor QA testing
Yes. 10 seconds is required. 2 or 3 seconds is not enough to break in for automated QA testing. We are aiming for maximum reliability here. 2 or 3 seconds causes ~25% failure rate. 5 seconds causes ~10% failure rate. 10 seconds removes this element. (Estimates based on about a million LAVA test jobs across 50 different types of devices across multiple instances in multiple locations.)
Interesting. Do you know why it's so hard to catch the boot?
