[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/3] Deprecate Linux bootargs munging with CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE.

As discussed previously on the U-Boot mailing list (see comments on
"Fix fixup_silent_linux() buffer overrun" patchset), relying on
"bootm" to mangle the Linux bootargs is not a suggested way to go.
We now officially deprecate it and provide a way to avoid it (but
still get the other CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE behavior).

Changes in v2:
- Define without a value, since this selects a feature only.
- Moved define of CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE to
always be right next to the define of CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE
- Better description of CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE in README
- Example of how to use a script to silence Linux console in a non-
deprecated way in doc/README.silent

Changes in v3:
- Use __deprecated #define instead of direct gcc attribute
- Minor wording updates in doc/README.silent
- Added part 3 of the patch to turn off the deprecated config option
for Blackfin, where it was confirmed that it's not needed.

Doug Anderson (3):
  config: Add CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE
  bootm: Move silencing of linux console to deprecated config option.
  config: Remove Blackfin CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE
