[U-Boot] [PATCH] tools/env: fix environment alignment tests for block devices

commit 183923d3e412500bdc597d1745e2fb6f7f679ec7 enforces that the environment must start at an erase block boundary.
For block devices the sample fw_env.config does not mandate a erase block size for block devices. A missing setting defaults to the full env size.
Depending on the environment location the alignment check now errors out for perfectly legal settings.
Fix this by defaulting to the standard blocksize of 0x200 for environments stored in a block device. That keeps the fw_env.config files for block devices working even with that new check.

I think we can rely on '0', since that is invalid already.

I guess the !defined(CONFIG_FILE) has the same problem. Let's just ignore the cases rc < 4,5 here and handle them all in check_config.

That is exactly the bug I try to fix. (e)MMC/SD cards are not MTD devices, the concept of an erase block does not exist for these devices: # mtdinfo /dev/mmcblk0 libmtd: error!: "/dev/mmcblk0" is not a character device mtdinfo: error!: cannot get information about MTD device "/dev/mmcblk0" error 22 (Invalid argument)

I will try if we are allowed to include the relevant header in this userspace application. Ups, someone defined that macro inside the file already, will use it.

Ok.

I think we can rely on '0', since that is invalid already.
Actually that uncovered a bug I introduced. The fixup has to come before the test 'if (DEVOFFSET(dev) % DEVESIZE(dev) != 0)' which uses the values. I will change to 0, aka rely on global variables defaulting to 0.
else if (rc < 5) /* Assume enough env sectors to cover the environment */ ENVSECTORS (i) = (ENVSIZE(i) + DEVESIZE(i) - 1) / DEVESIZE(i);
I guess the !defined(CONFIG_FILE) has the same problem. Let's just ignore the cases rc < 4,5 here and handle them all in check_config.
I will remove the default handling in both cases in favor of handling this later in check_device_config().
Will send a V2 shortly.
