[PATCH 1/2] autoboot: allow custom prompt without requiring AUTOBOOT_KEYED

Sun Apr 5 12:49:04 CEST 2026
The autoboot prompt used to only be customizable in Kconfig when
AUTOBOOT_KEYED was enabled. For a usecase such as having a nicer
autoboot prompt alongside a splash screen, there is no reason for
AUTOBOOT_KEYED to be required for this.
Remove the dependency to AUTOBOOT_KEYED, and use AUTOBOOT_PROMPT in
print_boot_delay() instead of a hardcoded string.
