Cover letter [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/5] New environment code

Disadvantages:

- Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on

systems with redundant environment with a following patch series)

Looking at the patches I can't really see where that large increase in image size comes from;
but if its really true, it seems to be a very high price to pay for those who get along with the environment as it is.

i wonder if we could #ifdef the sorting/hashing. i tend to agree with Reinhard that it is very common for boards to be deployed with a small env, so i wonder if the normal runtime experience is actually faster, or if the difference is about the same as system noise: boot u-boot, load env with ~20 entries, read a few env vars, boot OS.
