Yes, we do. This is one of the things I definitely want to keep as it
saved me lots of hours before. I won't give this up lightly.

It's important for board bringup, and it's also very useful that  you
always see it when booting - if U-Boot hangs because a RAM or a flash
or  a XXX error, you always KNOW it because the last thing you see on
the console is "RAM" or "FLash" or "XXX". This is  a  very  important
feature.

I guess I should write some design principles for U-Boot...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
