The current definition of the env_save_ptr does not take SPL_SAVEENV into account. Moreover, the way it is implemented means that drivers need to guard the definitions of their _save methods with ifdefs to avoid "defined but unused" warnings in case CMD_SAVEENV=n.
The ifdeffery can be avoided by using a "something ? x : NULL" construction instead and still have the compiler elide the _save method when it is not referenced. Unfortunately we can't just switch the existing env_save_ptr macro, since that would give a lot of build errors unless all the ifdeffery is removed at the same time. Conversely, removing that ifdeffery first would merely lead to the "defined but unused" warnings temporarily, but for some storage drivers it requires a bit more work than just removing their private CMD_SAVEENV logic.
So introduce an alternative to env_save_ptr, which for lack of a better name is simply uppercased, allowing one to update storage drivers piecemeal to both reduce their ifdeffery and honour CONFIG_SPL_SAVEENV.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
