[U-Boot] [PATCH] logbuff: Change default console loglevel to 8

Hi Peter,

I don't really like that patch as I think it will alter how U-Boot
"looks" (i.e. what it outputs) on e.g. the lwmon5 board where the
logbuffer is used primarily for logging POST results.

Can you please explain to me again, why the messages are not output any
more once CONFIG_LOGBUFFER is enabled?  If 'stdout' is serial (and I
don't see why this should not be the case) then is there already a
problem?

Cheers
  Detlev
