This is broken in (at least) two ways:
1. It is simply nonsensical if u-boot and env are on different devices
or not on mmc even if mmc support is enabled.
2. It causes u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin to be padded to the env offset.
At best, this is useless. If the env doesn't immediately follow
u-boot, it really breaks things.
Please fix or revert, I don't really care which.
