Having both CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE and CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE separate allows us to continue to use CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE and then undefine the CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE setting from boards one by one as people either decide that they don't need it or come up with other options. Being able to undefine CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE allows you to avoid the 256-byte buffer overrun while still using the rest of the CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE feature. At the moment, I haven't sent up any patches that have CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE defined but _not_ CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE, since the config file I'm currently working with hadn't made it all the way upstream yet. I will resubmit the series with your other suggestions. Thanks! _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
