I noticed and added BOOTSTD_FULL to the defconfig downstream. To solve
the chattyness we could override BOOTCMD to "bootflow scan -b" in the
defconfig.

I've seen but I think for interactive use BOOTSTD_FULL is still the
better choice. The full bootstd commands are helpful for booting from a
non-default partition.

I'll resend with BOOTSTD_FULL and will think whether to change BOOTCMD
in apple_m1_defconfig or in Kconfig. I don't think it makes much sense
to list the boot methods by default before boot.
