In which way does this prevent you from following my suggestion? such a separate environment block (in any format, either as plain ASCII text, or binary, or as checksummed blob) can easily be attached to the U-Boot image and handled as a combined unit. Then you just import the additional environment from this well-known address. This gives you all the possibilities you have for handling the environment, conflict free.
