Okay.

I would rather disagree here as I have good reasons.
First, adding "printk.h" to "linux/kernel.h" makes sense simply as
Linux's original "linux/kernel.h" also has it. So when you will import
any files from linux in the future, you will probably get *less* bothered
with missing include files in .c file.
Second, I would like to change linux code at the very minimum if possible.
In lib/crypto/public_key.c, for example, I simply deleted not-used and
non-existing include files or just replaced any with its counterpart
in U-Boot (module.h -> compat.h).

I don't fully understand that why those files include "linux/kernel.h".
Different source files may include "linux/kernel.h" for different reasons.
Take board/synopsys/hsdk/hsdk.c, for example.
It uses ARRAY_SIZE macro for its convenience, *not* for printk.
I believe that including any include files *directly & explicitly* for
its own use of any definitions or functions is a good practice
even if such include files may be included *indirectly* via another include
file.

So I want to keep this patch unchanged.
