[U-Boot] [PATCH] env_mmc: support overriding mmc dev from board code

This enables boards to choose where to/from the environment should be saved/loaded. They can then for example support using the same device (dynamically) from which the bootloader was launched to load and save env data and do not have to define CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV statically.
In my use case, the environment needs to be on the same device I booted from. It can be the eMMC or an optional SD card. I therefore would override mmc_get_env_dev in the board code, read the CPU registers to determine where we booted from and return the corresponding device index.

I was going to ask: What about the HW partition number and offset, but it appears that there is already a method to override those at run-time:-)

Oh. I missed this patch. I have a more complete patch, still in patch work. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/558056/.

Bah. They look to cover the same areas to me at least.

Yeah. The patch I wrote include fix write_env, and a function prototype in header file.
If the current patch already applied, I can write a follow up patch.
Thanks, Peng.

Hi Peng,
sorry, I did not know there was already a similar patch.
However, now when looking over your patch, it tries to fix read_env and write_env, which is not necessary, because the device number is stored in struct mmc.
What's missing though is the function prototype in the header.
Tom, should I send a v2 of the patch or a follow-up? Or do you want to fix this up, Peng?
Thanks. Clemens

Ah, yes, a prototype would be good, go ahead and do it, thanks!
