appropriately done with a specific

#define
CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS?
You can set CONFIGs for all of these things in your own private build and they'll work, but they're inappropriate for main-line U-boot. I hope the reasoning is obvious.
I'm do not understand why and I see in several include/configs/*.h files that these environment variable are being set as default. I'm guessing that there's something that I'm missing.
