I don't disagree with you, but I think that is a matter for the board
maintainer. I found a minor problem in the config file which I fixed.
But I don't really think I want to enable CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED,
select some values for CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2, etc. as well. For
my purposes I just need the board to continue to boot.

Somehow we dropped Ilko Iliev <iliev at ronetix.at> off the Cc here, so
have re-added.

Regards,
Simon
