Try this one instead. Traditionally there has only been
CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PATH. bbenv-y is for compiling different
separate environment snippets into the binary and to activate them
later in the code. Adding bbenv-y like above doesn't change anything,
the snippet needs to be loaded using:

defaultenv_append_directory(defaultenv_am335x_evm);

This is used for compiling barebox for multiple boards and decide during
runtime which board specific env should be used.
