Correct "if" your eMMC has v2014.07 and later installed.. However if
it's before that version, it needs /uEnv.txt (which will load the
/boot/uEnv.txt to grab the uname_r/optargs/etc..)

Yeap.. That u-boot is looking for /uEnv.txt using the generic "load"
command, so it doesn't care if its fat/ext..

There's really only 5 variables we need to update for that very old u-boot:

With my custom /uEnv.txt that i flash by default it'll load /boot/uEnv.txt

I know it's odd, /uEnv.txt loads /boot/uEnv.txt  ;)

I was just hacking away and that's what happened, for awhile it was
/boot/extlinux.conf but we are not ready to make that big of a jump
yet..
