env: Move help from README to Kconfig

The CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_... options which have already been converted to
Kconfig only have a small amount of help. Move the rest of it over from
the README.

environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
for the environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
aligned to an erase block boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
aligned to an erase block boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
the range to be avoided.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
"nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
accesses, which is important on NAND.
- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
environment in.
- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
when storing the env in UBI.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
@ -3734,57 +3671,6 @@ but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
- CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
This must be enabled. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
environment.
- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
area within the specified MMC device.
If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
MMC sector boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
an MMC sector boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
