Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] Add check that console is ready before output

Dear Simon Glass,

In message CAPnjgZ3WBmJBs1zCd4_jQsUZcO2BOAOK865CaL6tWeUX9zVVWg@mail.gmail.com you wrote:

Yes indeed - I did actually submit an 'early panic' patch which I should take another look at - it is called 'Add board_panic_no_console to deal with early critical errors'. I think it was in the same patch set but I'm not sure.

It was (I even commented on it).

It would panic when console output was performed before the console was ready - and therefore give the behaviour you desire.

Well, but there will probably be a large number of boards that don't implement this function (or don;t enable it if we make it configurable). And all these will now fail silently.

Best regards,
