another beginner-level question, i'm sure, but what's the distinction between V_PROMPT and CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT for customizing the u-boot prompt?
The difference is that CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT (which probably should be renamed into CONFIG_PROMPT) is an official, documented configuration option, while V_PROMPT is a private and apparently redundant definition that should be removed.
Cleanup patches welcome.
submitted. if CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT really should be renamed, that can be done in a followup patch as a separate logical action.
