This allows for more flexible and standardized boot across multiple platforms. Remove most redundant legacy boot environment.

Hello,
regarding the boot environment standardization there is still the open topic of standardizing the console variable format for serial consoles - most platforms include the console baudrate in the console variable (e.g. "console=ttyS0,115200") while some others, in particular the i.MX6 platforms, do not. This means that distributions like Debian currently need to add special-case handling for i.MX6-based platforms in their boot scripts which goes against the idea of having one generic boot script for all platforms that use config_distro_bootcmd.h.
It would be nice if the i.MX6 platforms could - while adopting config_distro_bootcmd.h and thereby changing their default environment to a large extend - also change their console variable from console=ttymxc0 to console=ttymxc0,115200.
Yes please. And Karsten can you do a patch that updates the README to note that as an expectation? Thanks!
