[U-Boot] question about repetition of some u-boot commands

[Belisko Marek]

Hi,

just curious. Why some commands entered to u-boot are repeated after
processing by pressing Enter key? Like tftp, print ....

Thanks for clarification,

It's useful for some commands like "md" that auto-advance.  It's not
useful (and often annoying) for most others.  There's a field in the
command descriptor that indicates whether autorepeat should be enabled
for that command, but a lot of commands set it that shouldn't.
