For production systems it is better to use script images since they
are protected by checksums and carry valuable information like name
and timestamp. Also, you can't validate the content passed to env
import.

But for development, it is easier to use the env import command
and plain text files instead of script-images.

Since both OMAP5evm/uevm boards are used primarily for
development, we allow U-Boot to load env var from a text file in
case that an boot.scr script-image is not present.

The variable uenvcmd (if existent) will be executed (using run)
after uEnv.txt was loaded. If uenvcmd doesn't exist the default
boot sequence will be started.

Inspired by commit: d70f54808dfa83b574e1239c3eccbcf3317343e1
(omap4: allow the use of a plain text env file instead boot
scripts)

OK, Sricharan is also working on something like this, with a few other
changes as well (Use zImage, load fdt).  I suspect we'll be taking
that in.
is there a patch posted in u-boot list? or at least an ETA when we might be 
able to see such a patch?

  I added this in the series.
