[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] fix fw_setenv with uninitialised environment

[Murray.Jensen at csiro.au]

In tools/env/fw_env.c when the environment is uninitialised, and the
default_environment[] array is used instead, if a setenv is done there
is a good chance that the array bounds will be exceeded. Cheers!

Alan Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of  whether
machines  can think, a question of which we now know that it is about
as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim.
