I have been using a crappy script to generate a u-boot environment
image, and that script was padding with 0x00 bytes instead of 0xff
(which is the default used by the mkenvimage tool). Having looked into
this a bit more, it appears that the 0xff padding works just fine in
my particular use case.

So, I no longer consider this patch necessary, and cannot provide a
justification for it.

I have, however, found that I need to pass the -r (redundant
environment) flag to mkenvimage; so I propose exposing that flag in
the Buildroot menu.

Simon.
