From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx> U-Boot uses environment variables for storing device setup data on flash. That data usually needs to be accessed by a bootloader, kernel and often user-space. This binding allows describing environment data location and its format clearly. In some/many cases it should be cleaner than hardcoding & duplicating that info in multiple places. Bootloader & kernel can share DTS and user-space can try reading it too or just have correct data exposed by a kernel.
