I'm not sure I understand your comment.  It sounds to me like you're saying
that fixup_silent_linux() (which already exists in u-boot code) shouldn't be
needed anymore in u-boot.  ...and maybe you're considering it deprecated?
 Would you like me to submit a patch to remove it?

It appears that fixup_silent_linux() was originally added by you in 2003
(f72da3406bf6f1c1bce9aa03b07d070413a916af).

...or are you saying that you don't see the need to
change fixup_silent_linux() to also remove "earlyprintk"?

Thanks!

-Doug
