Apparently you are the first one, who see such functionality as useful.
I don't mind - feel free to prepare patches :-)

Speaking of the fw tools, I have always wanted to be able to specify
"whole mtd device" for plain NOR flash in fw_env.config so instead of
/dev/mtd1 0x 0x4000 0x4000
One could jsut say
/dev/mtd1 0x 0x4000
like one can do for SPI flash. Thoughts ?

Definitely. Ideally both for the old, working, and for the new,
failing, version.

But then, the actual format of the environment data has never been
changed, so we really need more details.

If it happens once, it's a bug.
If it happens twice, it's a feature.
If it happens more than twice, it's a design philosophy.

Strace output would be helpful here
The fw_* utils were a bit reworked around 2017.09 (there were some
build breaks of it IIRC), so yes you may see some problems.

U-boot is rapidly changing - due to DM, Kconfig, introduction.
Some debug data would be helpful.
Is your 2015.04 u-boot working with older fw_* utils?

[U-Boot] U-Boot 2015 and u-boot-fw-utils 2017.09
Hi,
I am using U-Boot 2015.04, and the new root file system for my platform
includes u-boot-fw-utils 2017.09. I have noticed that fw_{print,set}env
utilities are no longer working.
Should these be compatible and work properly? Or are there any changes
regarding how the environment is read and written between v2015.04 and v2017.09
that would explain this incompatility?
Thanks
