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.

Regards...

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.
