Subject: [U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] simplify silent console

Wolfgang,

silent console output is currently implemented by assigning nulldev
as output device. This is a bit overcomplicated, since there is
also GD_FLG_SILENT flag.

Patch bellow tries to simplify silencing console by honouring
GD_FLG_SILENT in console output functions, so there is no need to
mess with output device. Comments?

Best regards,
	ladis
