I have already explained my doubts regarding the abuse of EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS. The setup that should be minimal and general for most of uses is then customized for a specific scope, that conflict with other goals.
Ok I will leave unchanged default environment.

We had already some discussion on the mailing list about the meaning and the usefulness of the U-Boot prompt. I will apply a patch for all Freescale boards that remove a custom prompt, letting the default. Which is the improvement to have a custom prompt ?
And also I will leave unchanged u-boot prompt. I think I will support Simon idea, I think it is useful to recognize uboot console prompt if you have more than one serial console connected to your host.
Maybe you are the second one asking for the feature:

As suggested by Simon (take a look at the whole thread), it is then better to set the prompt from an environment variable. Feel free to submit a patch for it.
