This is, I think, a good point. Outside of user-facing interactive code, we don't use ANSI sequences for printing information in U-Boot anywhere else. Why are we doing it in the EFI_LOADER code outside of personal preference? And, can we just not instead? It does confuse matters (as my example showed) when problems do arise. -- Tom
