Hi Stefano, Thank you - no particular reason for you to notice it, but I thought I would cc you. The original purpose was to get some sort of message out of a board that fails very early (before console_init_f()). It is useful when using an fdt, since if the fdt cannot be found it is nice to print a friendly message somehow.
