NAK.

Such information does not belong into the standard boot messages.
These should containonly the necessary information to see that U-Boot
is coming up correctly and give indication where it might be hanging
if it does.

All other information should be printed by commands that may be called
by users who are actually interested in such information.  You may
even add such commands to your "preboot" settings, but please make
sure that users not interested in such stuff can change this and get
only minimal output (as may be needed for minimal boot times).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
