ENGR00174841 [U-Boot]Add a command to erase any pre-saved environment
A "destroyenv" command is provided to erase any pre-save environment in the boot storage. The command simply add 1 to the CRC section and write it back to the storage. Per the logic of U-Boot, this means after a reset, the software will recognize the stored environment settings as "damaged" and turn to use the default one, which is defined in "default_environment" With this command, platform bring up owner can maintain a "ready-to-use" environment settings in software which others can use very conviniently. U-boot users can also use it to do a environment restore if they want. ----------------------------------- Usage Example: > destroyenv invalidate the CRC write invalidate enviroment data to storage Erasing SPI flash...Erasing SPI NOR flash 0xc0000 [0x2000 bytes] ..SUCCESS Writing to SPI flash...Writing SPI NOR flash 0xc0000 [0x2000 bytes] <- ram 0x276009b8 SUCCESS done > ----------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Eric Sun <jian.sun@freescale.com>
