Default behaviour of current MXS booting is to print HTLLCHTLLC
characters when before usual uboot output - it is a feature to debug
early boot stages, signatures checking, etc. Negation here to not
break default behaviour

I'm not really sure what this does (I haven't seen any differences
with this flag on and off), but
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SbFileFormat mentions existence of this
bit. Unfortunately, Freescale documentation is not full and a bit hard
to search and use :(

Thank you for comments, I'll add documentation, fix DISPLAYPROGRESS
and post a v2 of the patch.
