Any new of this ? it can be merged ?
I have tested and successfully boot a fedora on a Wandboard Quad with this.
The improvement of the console variable management can be done with an other patch ?
Thank you for working on this.

Hello,
regarding the boot environment standardization there is still the open topic of standardizing the console variable format for serial consoles - most platforms include the console baudrate in the console variable (e.g. "console=ttyS0,115200") while some others, in particular the i.MX6 platforms, do not. This means that distributions like Debian currently need to add special-case handling for i.MX6-based platforms in their boot scripts which goes against the idea of having one generic boot script for all platforms that use config_distro_bootcmd.h.
It would be nice if the i.MX6 platforms could - while adopting config_distro_bootcmd.h and thereby changing their default environment to a large extend - also change their console variable from console=ttymxc0 to console=ttymxc0,115200.
Yes please. And Karsten can you do a patch that updates the README to note that as an expectation? Thanks!
