But this breaks logic.  If you wanna have a nulldev, than implement
a /dev/null.

CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE should be the means to be used when no
environment storage drivers are needed / selected, not even
/dev/null.

My challenge to the goto-less programmer  is  to  recode  tcp_input()
without any gotos ... without any loss of efficiency (there has to be
a catch).                                             - W. R. Stevens
