one issue I see here is that there are MT7621 devices like the Asus RT-AX53U
that don't save their environment to their u-boot-env partition by default.
You still need to execute saveenv while connected via serial.
Note: the device doesn't have a u-boot-env partition in stock rom. The
environment is saved to the second half of the original u-boot partition.
We added uboot-envtools support by splitting the u-boot partition in half.
What problem are you trying to solve here? Are you relying upon the u-boot
values for MAC address or something?
On one of my boards, so I do fix up the u-boot values, just so it's correct, but
the actual MAC values are stored elsewhere in both binary and ASCII values.
If you just care about reading the values, it's not required to use u-boot-env
tools - you can parse yourself or use the OpenWrt functions, which are basically
a "strings" operation.
But I think the bottom line here is mt7621 is a very diverse platform, and
there's no one-size-fits-all with package selection or anything.
