Just to give you an example how we handle this in other places:

A similar dangerous operation is changing the console baudrate - if
you set it to something your teminal cannot handle you have the same
problem. U-Boot tries to prevent this, as it enforces you to actually
input something at the new baudrate.

Best regards,
