This is not a linux question, and thus off topic  here.  Please  post

What do you get when you run the "printenv" command?

I consider it very bad programming style if the code and the comments
disagree.

Why is this 512 kB? U-Boot is needs much less memory!

Maybe you have a deeper  problem  with  your  environment  variables.
Where  are  they  stored? In flash? Embedded with the U-Boot image or
separate?

[Followup tu u-boot-users, please]
