Its a "warn" and this should be visible to the user IMHO. One might
discuss, if an "info" or "notice" text should printed, but warnings
seem quite important (at least for my taste). Changing this to even
higher level messages (like "err") is too much. And this would lead
to differences between Linux and U-Boot which we should avoid.

Back to the issue, if you don't want to pull this change for the
default LOGLEVEL, I will change it for this board or platform as you
suggested above. Just let me know.

Thanks,
Stefan
