env: Fix saving environment to "bad CRC" location
In case when the environment on some location is malformed (CRC isn't
matching), there is a chance we won't be able to save the environment to
that location. For example, consider the case when we only have the
environment on eMMC, but it's zeroed out. In that case, we won't be able
to "env save" to it, because of "bad CRC" error. That's happening
because in env_load() function we consider malformed environment as
incorrect one, and defaulting to the location with highest (0)
priority, which can be different from one we are dealing with right now
(e.g., highest priority can be ENV_FAT on SD card, which is not
inserted, but we want to use ENV_MMC on eMMC, where we were booted
from).
This issue began to reproduce after commit d30ba2315ae3 ("u-boot: remove
driver lookup loop from env_save()") on BeagleBone Black, but that
commit didn't introduce the wrong logic, it just changed the behavior
for default location to use, merely revealing this issue.
To fix that, let's implement next logic in env_load():
1. Try to find out correct environment; if found -- use it
2. If working environment wasn't found, but we found malformed one
(with bad CRC), let's use it for further "env save". But make sure
to use malformed environment location with highest priority.
3. If neither correct nor malformed environment was found, let's
default to environment location with highest priority (0)
Steps to reproduce mentioned issue on BeagleBone Black (fixed in this
patch):
1. Boot from SD card and erase eMMC in U-Boot shell:
=> mmc dev 1
=> mmc erase 0 100000
=> gpt write mmc 1 $partitions
2. Write new SPL and U-Boot to eMMC; the rest of eMMC will stay filled
with zeroes
3. Boot from eMMC; try to do:
=> env save
4. Observe the error (incorrect behavior). Correct behavior: environment
should be stored correctly on eMMC, in spite of it has "bad CRC"
