But which board does it actually break, please?
I don't think any of the default configs included in u-boot would have broken, while some of them define CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE, none of them define CONFIG_SILENT_U_BOOT_ONLY. I was working with a freescale mx28evk prototyping something that will eventually be a custom board, and I modified the config to drop u-boot output but not drop the linux kernel output. It was working fine with a git checkout from late May, and I noticed when I tried out the latest release it wouldn't compile anymore as it tried to call a symbol that was never defined.
So it was really only broken for a custom config, but as the behavior is documented in doc/README.silent, I assume it's still desirable for it to work :).
Thanks...
