Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 14/17] console: Call overwrite_console before searching for console devices

Dear Simon,

Move the overwrite_console function call to before the search for the console devices. This lets the board specific function replace the environment variables and have that picked up by the console code.

Can you please explain what "replace the environment variables" means, and how this is related to the console code?

It allows the environment variables (e.g. stdin) to be changed by the overwrite_console function call.

Ah! I feared that would be some other way to reset / change / overwrite the _whole_ environment - "the environment variables" is not really specific.

So I think we can drop this patch.

Fine.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
