the evb-ast2500_defconfig in the openbmc tree worked for me. I tested
an openbmc build using this patch:

https://gerrit.openbmc.org/c/openbmc/openbmc/+/56133

I haven't double checked the environment yet. It appeared to work at
runtime, but I'm not sure if it's at the correct location

OpenBMC doesn't seem to correctly program an environment into the
flash image for the 2500 like we do for the p10bmc eMMC image.
