Imply CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE for stm32mp1 target
and test U-Boot version ($env_ver) when the environment was
saved for the last time and to display warning trace.

Is option "-q" exist ? i can't find anything about it into source code

What is env_ver?  Are you by chance reinventing the wheel?

The U-Boot version is stored in the environment variable "ver";
there should be no need for something similar.


Also. where is $env_ver coming from? It does not exist in mainline,
nor in any of the 3 patches that preceed this patch # 4/16 ?

Introduced in 
[v3,1/7] cmd: env: add option for quiet output on env info

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1236816/

I forget to indicate dependency.

The script env_check is ;
 
	env exists env_ver || env set env_ver ${ver};

	if env info -p -d -q; then env save; fi;

	if test \"$env_ver\" != \"$ver\"; then
		echo \"*** Warning: old environment ${env_ver}\";
		echo '* set default: env default -a; env save; reset';
		echo '* update current: env set env_ver ${ver}; env save';
	fi;

In the first line of the script: "env exists env_ver || env set env_ver ${ver}", so

$env_ver = $ver, before the first env_save during the first boot (second line of the script)

env_ver is only defined and used in this script to detect that current U-Boot version ($ver) and 
the version of U-Boot for last env save ($env_var) are not aligned.

I introduce this warning after debug of many issue around this kind of error, but perhaps more
a debug feature.

So if you found that it is a bad idea for upstream, I will drop this part and just to the new quiet option
To simplify the test:

env_check = " if env info -p -d -q; then env save; fi;"

All such automatical "env save" actions somewhere in the code give
me the creeps.  I've seen too often that they did things I nver
intended to do or would have accepted if I had a chance to decide.

Use extremely careful, please.

From a user point of view, it's me who owns the environment, and
nobody should mess with my data without me confirming it.

Sure,

In this case, the command "env info -d" tests if the default environment is currently used,
So the user have never updated and saved the environment.

In this case and if the persistent storage is available (option -p), the script "env_check" save the environment.

PS: I take the initial idea from ./include/configs/opos6uldev.h and ./include/configs/apf27.h

As the save action is performed only when default environment is used, it is done before 
any user modification so I don't think that it is annoying for user.

I also kept the call this feature only in the ST specific bootcmd_stm32mp to allow customization for users or other boards.
(I prefer to don't add it in board_late_init() as it is done in board/intel/edison/edison.c)

The purpose of the "env save" is just to avoid a "Warning" during the boot, 
until the first user action and "env save" command:

Loading Environment from MMC... *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

The content of environment before and after the save is identical: it is the default one.
but if it is too aggressive I can kept it for downstream.

Marek do you have a opinion: it is acceptable for DH SOM using STM32MP15x SOC?
