The basic idea is taken from the linux-kernel, but further optimized.

First align the buffer to 8 bytes, then use ldrd/strd to read and store
in 8 byte quantities, then do the final bytes.

Hi Phil,
Have you tested this patch? I don't see your signed-off or tested-by signature in this patch.

Yes, I did. But just for functionality, no real spead measurement or so.
That's why I skipped the tested-by line. I just caught up on this,
please see the patch I send in reply to this mail.

Best wishes,

Respin of my patch series for review. Only changes in patches 2 and 3:

env_nand.c: support falling back to redundant env when writing:
  Print status message for each of the redundant copies when writing. So
  when writing, we see which image is being written to. Also, when the first
  attempt fails, a second message follows so the user sees that writing was
  eventually successful.

env_nand.c: clarify log messages when env reading fails:
  Print a warning if one of the two redundant copies could not be read and an
  error if both failed to read. Message text and formatting chosen with
  common/env_flash.c as example.

Respin of the remaining two of my patch series for review.  First patch
is identical but removed the versioning from the title as suggested.
Second patch cleaned up so checkpatch.pl does not complain anymore.
Kudos to Scott for pointing out the warnings and his further comments. 

Greetings, Phil
