[PATCH] doc: variables: nv vars are saved automatically.

[PATCH] doc: variables: nv vars are saved automatically.

[Tomaz Solc]

In recent barebox versions, nv variables are saved automatically upon reset or
kernel start (console message "nv variable modified, will save nv variables on
shutdown" warns about that). There is no need to explicitly call saveenv.

This change was introduced in 3fadbdae.
