As discussed previously on the U-Boot mailing list (see comments on "Fix fixup_silent_linux() buffer overrun" patchset), relying on "bootm" to mangle the Linux bootargs is not a suggested way to go. We now officially deprecate it and provide a way to avoid it (but still get the other CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE behavior).
Changes in v2: - Define without a value, since this selects a feature only. - Moved define of CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE to always be right next to the define of CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE - Better description of CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE in README - Example of how to use a script to silence Linux console in a non- deprecated way in doc/README.silent
Changes in v3: - Use __deprecated #define instead of direct gcc attribute - Minor wording updates in doc/README.silent - Added part 3 of the patch to turn off the deprecated config option for Blackfin, where it was confirmed that it's not needed.
Doug Anderson (3): config: Add CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE bootm: Move silencing of linux console to deprecated config option. config: Remove Blackfin CONFIG_DEPRECATED_SILENT_LINUX_CONSOLE
