Okay, I can change it. spl_board_init() will be empty so I will turn off
CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT also.
I was put off by README saying "preloader_console_init() can be called
here in extremis" which I meant as saying it should be rare to do that.
Debugging board_init_r() should be pretty useful, so perhaps the wording
there should be more easy.

This is only needed at U-Boot stage, right? Looks like it will be called
because CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F is enabled.
Thanks,
