Replace the "spinning wheel" eye candy by printing a simple row of dots. This avoids problems with control charactersin log files etc.
Also, it saves a few bytes.

Did you come to a decision about this patch?
Matthias already did send a NAK for the esd boards (on Monday).
I have to admit that I like the spinning wheel better as well. Especially the resulting output after the calibration is finished looks better on the "normal" terminal:
DRAM: 256 MB (original version)
instead of:
DRAM: Auto calibration: ..........256 MB (your new version)
I understand that the spinning wheel is not optimal for logfiles, but for the normal usage it just looks nicer for my taste. So I would prefer to stay with the spinning wheel, but if you decide that the 4xx DDR2 calibration mustn't use this, then let's apply your patch for the cpu/ppc4xx files.
Best regards, Stefan
