arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Fix default env variables
Default env variables on Espressobin boards are broken since commit c4df0f6f315c ("arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Set default value for $fdtfile env variable") as well as the 'env default -a' command. The algorithm to find free space in the default_environment[] array returns after the first env variable instead of the correct position of the last variable, where there is allocated free space. This causes that U-Boot board_late_init() function to overwrite a portion of the default environment with $ethXaddr and $fdtfile variables immediately after the first env variable and so it is overwriting other variables. This patch also adds an additional null byte to terminate the environment array. But U-Boot board_late_init() function do not fill this nul byte explicitly. And because of that, U-Boot is later trying to interpret remaining buffer as a continuation of variable list. Normally buffer should be empty but due to the above issue, it contains garbage from remaining env variables. For example 'env default -a' command results in damaging variable names. It was observed that scritaddr variable name was changed to criptaddr (without leading 's'). This bug was reported and discussed on the Armbian forum: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/19564-making-espressobin-v7-work-in-2022/?do=findComment&comment=138136 Fix these issues in two steps: 1) Change code which finds free space for dynamic env variables in default_environment[] array by jumping to the end of the variable list instead of jumping after the first defined variable. [By Derek] 2) Add code which appends terminating nul byte as indication of the end of the env list, after the last nul term env string.
