Subject: Revert "Add board_pre_console_putc to deal with early console output"
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3fa4977a9ec7a2e1c7f8c098cbd857dec13936d1;p=u-boot.git

Revert "Add board_pre_console_putc to deal with early console output"

This reverts commit 295d3942b806552503243f5cfb36aec6f1b5a9bf.

It turns that this really doesn't work very nicely. Instead we should
have a pre-console panic function so that we know that further execution
is impossible and we don't need to worry about trampling on UARTs, etc.
