Note (especially to Jean-Christophe who asked):
I measured the size impact of the printf changes; a short scan on seven PowerPC boards showed an average size increase of 1.6 kB:
Board Diff old new TQM8260 1168 : 189520 190688 TQM5200 1152 : 690468 691620 ads5121 1168 : 264816 265984 ocotea 1256 : 313444 314700 sequoia 1256 : 703404 704660 MPC8572DS 1236 : 487457 488693 MPC8641HPCN 4064 : 463916 467980 AVRG: 1614
Tks, IMHO improve the printf is important but may need to plan to clean up or improve other part of U-Boot to allow peolple to reduce its size. Especially the NOR driver that does not allow to enable/disable vendor support as the kernel
