Yes, that's what I'm sayin. All this "useful" information should be available easily to everybody who is interested in it - no boubt of that. But it shoudld NOT be printed on each and every boot. > Kumar, are you okay with not displaying the address map size at all during > boot > time?

I see two situations: in 99.99% of all cases U-Boot is just a means to boot an OS, and nobody cares a bit about the actual U-Boot output, as long as the OS is runnign after a few seconds, and rather sooner than later. For a few use cases where developers are working on a board, they might wonder which state a board is in - then itis very useful to have a command to display this information any time they are interested in it - even without having to reboot the system. It is actually pretty silly to print certain interesting information only at boot time.
