When called with ENVOP_SAVE, env_get_location() only returns the gd->env_load_location variable without actually checking for the environment location and priority.
This behaviour causes env_save() to fall into an infinite loop when the low-level drv->save() call fails.
The env_save() function should not loop through the environment location list but it should save the environment into the location stored in gd->env_load_location by the last env_load() call.

A comment why this is required would be good, I guess.
Sure, I thought the same but eventually I didn't put it. Will do in the next version.
return -ENODEV; } int env_save(void) { struct env_driver *drv;
- int prio;
- for (prio = 0; (drv = env_driver_lookup(ENVOP_SAVE,
prio)); prio++) {
- drv = env_driver_lookup(ENVOP_SAVE, 0);
Thinking again about this, would it make more sense to store 'env_load_prio' in 'gd' after successful load? That way, 'env_get_location()' would be more straightforward (no special case for ENVOP_SAVE) and here in 'env_save()' we could just write something like this:
drv = env_driver_lookup(ENVOP_SAVE, gd->env_load_prio);
I really like the 'env_load_prio' idea. But I also like having the special case for ENVOP_SAVE in env_get_location() as it enforces the fact that the location of 'save' is bound to the location of previous 'load'. I however don't have a strong opinion on this. I could even remove the whole switch() statement if we introduce 'env_load_prio'.
Also, I have some doubts about what it should be returned when !drv-
save and !env_has_inited(drv->location) (below)... I put -ENODEV but I
don't like it so much.
