When called with ENVOP_SAVE, env_get_location() only returns the
gd->env_load_location variable without actually checking for
the environment location and priority. This allows saving the
environment into the same location that has been previously loaded.
This behaviour causes env_save() to fall into an infinite loop when
the low-level drv->save() call fails.
Why is this? Should it not stop eventually? Do we need a limit on prio?
See my description in this mail:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2018-April/324728.html
Unfortunately, I got diverted at that time and could not follow up on
this. Essentially, the question is raised what 'env save' is supposed to
do with multiple environments.
Currently, env_save() effectively stores only to the location where the
env has been loaded from, which is questionable. But storing to all
locations or the default location might not be correct, either.
Maybe the 'env save' command might need a parameter the tells it where
to save?

The env_save() function should not loop through the environment
location list but it should use the previously discovered
environment driver once.
What is that? It should be possible to write the env to multiple
places. Also what is the previously discovered environment?
