I agree that a counter is overkill.

I suggest we continue to do what we've  been  doing  in  other  flash
access  routines  (like  many  of  the earlier custom drivers), i. e.
print out dots, approximately one per second.

This still shows that somethingis happening  on  the  board,  but  it
avoids  all  the  overhead of printing tons of characters and control
sequences on the serial port.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
