That's not correct, AFAICT.

int do_save(cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char * const argv[],
                int fstype)
{
	unsigned long addr;
	const char *filename;
        unsigned long bytes;
	unsigned long pos;
	int len;
        unsigned long time;

	if (argc < 6 || argc > 7)
                return CMD_RET_USAGE;

More arguments are mandatory then you describe here.

Plus maybe note if it can extend existing files and create files if
they don't exit would be nice here?
