Since we had previously and intentionally enabled FAT over raw MMC location, why the switch back? Thanks!

env: Allow to build multiple environments in Kconfig
Now that we have everything in place in the code, let's allow to build multiple environments backend through Kconfig.

Looking at the the cover letter for that series (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/842057/) , it seems to be an attempt to combat the increasing size of U-boot by permanently moving the environment to FAT partition.
Maybe I am not seeing the whole picture here, but this doesn't make sense to me. Why should we dictate where every board with MMC storage puts their environment? Shouldn't we give the freedom for the board owner to decide that (and work around the ramifications of the increasing size of U-boot)?
dra7xx has two MMC instances. One is a FAT partitioned SD card and the other is a raw (or at most GPT partitioned) eMMC. We have been keeping environment in eMMC to better support android boot requirements and would like to keep it that way.
Thanks, Faiz

Well, not exactly. It's about allowing more than one location to be enabled. For example, raw eMMC when that makes sense or FAT file when that makes sense. If Lokesh ack's the change (or passes MAINTAINER over to someone else who acks), OK, we'll do this. But there's intentional reasons we've put it in a file in FAT before, even on this platform. But maybe use cases have changed, and that's fine.

Ok. The cover letter said they want to get rid of raw bootmode altogether and that is why I was concerned. Thanks for clearing it up.

If EMMC is the already the first in the list for saving env, then we don't need this change right?

Its not the first in list. It always tries to look for FAT first and then EMMC.

okay. We have android requirements to save env in EMMC. So I am okay with this change. Also do not drop env from SPL. Falcon boot might require it.
