U-Boot on this board grew a long time ago past the 384 KiB that it reserves for the U-Boot image, before the environment. Thus, saveenv overwrites the U-Boot image and bricks the board.

I tried to find out when U-Boot grew beyond this point, but there is a long stretch in the history where this board did not build -- and AFAICT when it did fit in 384 KiB, it was missing vital features such as fdt support. Turning off CONFIG_VIDEO was not enough to make it fit. Thus, I don't think we have any choice other than to move the environment.
