Dear Frédéric,

But, when debugging kernel crashes occurring either early in boot or hard crashes later, it can be helpful to be able to retrieve logs using the U-Boot session.
Full agreement, and we had such a feature working and in mainline already 17+ years ago.
It's sad that people rather reinvent the wheel instead of using existing functionality (or reviving it, if it has been broken over time).
Indeed.
Let's make sure there are tests added to this new feature (which looks extremely useful to me), so it stays working.
I'll just chime in to say that I have now reached the point in my career where I've both been told "you're re-inventing the wheel (again)" and now seen the wheel be re-re...-re-invented.
