Can you please fix this patch to  use  the  standard  console  device
mechanism of U-Boot? Instead of introducing a new "console" variable.
the  standard  mechanism  of assigning to the stdin / stdout / stderr
streams should be used.


I just learned that there are already other bad examples using such a
"console" setting:

File:				Board:		Maintainer:
board/eltec/elppc/misc.c	ELPPC		Frank Gottschling
board/netphone/phone_console.c	NETPHONE	Pantelis Antoniou
drivers/cfb_console.c		?		Frank Gottschling


Frank & Pantelis, can you please submit patches  to  clean  this  up,
too? Let's get rid of this "console" stuff before anybody else copies
it. [Sorry that this escaped me so far.]

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
