Ok. I have spent some time on this. Your patch is covering a little bit
different case than I have.
We have in general two used cases. One is to use SPL as first stage
bootloader and then private full featured FSBL.
Both of them works with the same u-boot image. It means I can build
uboot with SPL and run two test sets. One with SPL which is working fine
and the second without but there is no reason to rebuild u-boot without
SPL just to pass testing.
It means the feature I am looking for is more about ignoring SPL signon
instead of supporting cases where SPL doesn't print anything.

Thanks,
Michal
