          You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
          when storing the env in UBI.
 
+- 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.
+
+         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 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.

 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
 
        Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
