I don't like this.

First, you change API (_getenv call), without explanation why/if we
really need this. We decided we're very unlikely to ever find devices
with multiple (separated) NVRAMs. So what's the point of having nvram
per device?

Secondly, don't duplicate the code. If you're going to switch bcm47xx
to this new code, handle it smarter. Modify bcm47xx mode, move it to
the "misc" and re-use in bcm53xx.
