[U-Boot] [PATCH 06/10] arm: Add CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE to display board info on LCD

Dear Simon Glass,

In message <1351813330-23741-6-git-send-email-sjg at chromium.org> you wrote:

Note that this is intentional!  We always want to have the output in
the console as soon as possible.

Why do we need a config option for this?

This being the default (and I request that this remains so!), you
would have to touch _ALL_ existing board config files!

This makes little sense to me.

Best regards,
