Since v2019.07 U-Boot supports extracting the compiled-in environment.
As a first step, add support to the environment generation in buildroot.
In the future, the text file may also be copied into the target
filesystem, where it will be used by the uboot-tools.

changes since v1:
 - rename _INITIAL to _BUILTIN
 - add help texts
 - make commit message little bit more clearer, hopefully ;)

In fact, u-boot-initial-env file can also be used
by SWUpdate [1] and libubootenv [2] now ;).

Otherwise, tested on NXP WaRP7 with BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_ENVIMAGE_BUILTIN 
config option.
Setup : U-Boot master and libubootenv package (buildroot -next).

This feature was in the mean time added in uboot.mk, in a slightly
different form, but it does the same thing.

See:

  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=2c8ff251cb16d38fb417a488ee0367cd03eebda2

Could you check if it works for you as well?

Best regards,

Thomas

Yes that works too. We're actually already using it.
