[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] spl: Change debug to printf for "Unsupported boot-device"

We had the problem on an AM33xx platform, that SPL detected an unsupported boot-device. But since this message is a debug message it took a bit of time to really know, where the hangup in SPL resulted from. So let's change this debug message to a printf and also print the detected boot-device that is not supported. This makes debugging of such cases much easier.

Yes, I think this is a good idea, as I stepped also in the same problem. I tend to first activate debug when I have not working SPL code ... but this is not possible for example on running systems ... on the other side, this problem should raise only in the development state ...
The same for other places ... like UBI ... see my question [1]. It would be nice to have this ubi errormessages enabled, but this cost a lot of space ...
But for this patch, I think it is okay to enable it by default ... so:

This patch is causing problem on Microblaze because SPL exceed 4k limit. It is only one printf which is called in entire SPL that's why this should be solved a little bit differently.
Thanks, Michal

Ups. Yes, sorry. This one line definitely shouldn't cause all the printf stuff to be included. I'll try to address this quickly...
Thanks, Stefan

OK, but for clarity you need and are using both CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT and CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT because you're using puts but not printf, yes?

Right. If this is the case (only puts usage on Microblaze), then its perhaps best that I change this line to puts as well. Okay?
Thanks, Stefan

Changing this to puts is definitely fine. Microblaze is using just puts.
