[U-Boot] [PATCH] Enable serial console only before booting

[Frédéric Leroy]

When netconsole is active, some boards fail to boot.
This patch enables only the serial console before
control is handed by another operating system.

Hello,

I am facing the same problem with LaCie kirkwood boards.
I took a simple approach for fixing this issue.
This works for me ...
Any comments are welcome :)
