Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] tegra: Specify debugging serial port at boot.

Dear Stephen Warren,

Thanks for this statement. I agree 100%.

both pre-console panic and the "real" console later. This is fixed by the single static board design.

Here I disagree. The concept of "pre-console panic" as used here is broken.

We should _always_ initialize this "single fixed UART" as debug console as early as possible. Period.

If we have a "pre-console panic" then, we cannot do anything about it, because if "as early as possible" is not sufficient, then it cannot be helped - obviously we cannot initialize the UART before that.

And any panic after that is just anormal thing that can be printed on the debug console port. No need for any special handling.

Best regards,
