Using distro_bootcmd standardizes board behavior across many platforms. This is particularly useful for distributions supporting multiple boards without requiring custom configuration for each board.
There are a few changes needed to support distro_bootcmd, such as fixing the default value for the console setting, increasing the environment size, and allowing distro bootcmd to set the default bootdelay.
These patches have been used in Debian's u-boot packaging since May of 2016.
Vagrant Cascadian (4): Fix default console on odroid to only specify the device, as "console=" is redundant with the boot environment. Increase the default environment size on odroid, as config_distro_bootcmd requires a more space for the environment. Switch odroid to use config_distro_bootcmd. Inherit default value for bootdelay from distro_bootcmd on odroid.
