Hi Hannes,
Hi Nikita,

We need this function if we want to make some outputs out of u-boot
scripts.
I think this commit message is missing information. What makes this
necessary?
Why can't your script use regular echo commands with the lcd console
enabled?
Since i don't want that stdout is redirected to LCD (customer isn't interested in watching all output of u-boot) i need something to write out of scripts to the screen.
For example we write of script in which mode we are booting, maybe also some default ip settings in recovery mode.

"puts" is too generic for an lcd specific function. I would expect to
see something
with an "lcd" prefix. Also, this code seems better suited for
lcd_console.c
Okay, thats right - should we rename it to "lcdputs" ?
Only thing for decission was, that existing commands are allready defined within lcd.c. But i've no problem to move it. What do you say? let's move?
