doh, right after sending the mail, i figured i had grepped only in
u-boot/include for these:
config CONSOLE_MUX
bool "Enable console multiplexing"
default y if DM_VIDEO || VIDEO || LCD
help
This allows multiple devices to be used for each console 'file'.
For example, stdout can be set to go to serial and video.
Similarly, stdin can be set to come from serial and keyboard.
Input can be provided from either source. Console multiplexing
adds a small amount of size to U-Boot. Changes to the environment
variables stdout, stdin and stderr will take effect immediately.
config SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
bool "Select console devices from the environment"
default y if CONSOLE_MUX
help
This allows multiple input/output devices to be set at boot time.
For example, if stdout is set to "serial,video" then output will
be sent to both the serial and video devices on boot. The
environment variables can be updated after boot to change the
input/output devices.
while they were in u-boot/common/Kconfig, oh well, now i guess
above does explain better what i was after.
