When booting a new board for the first time, the console is flooded with
"Unknown board" messages. This is not really helpful. Board type is not
going to change after the boot, so it's sufficient to print the warning
only once.

I don't think we need this patch.  In 2/2 you add the board type for
the board you have, so you shouldn't be getting any messages, and
this is unneeded.

I don't mind spamming people with all the messages,  if people see
these messages, they have bigger problems than too many messages.

I guess this patch can be dropped, but whoever tries to improve the
support for the next new Octeon board will get annoyed by these same
messages...

I would hope that the "next new Octeon board" would have a bootloader that supplies a device tree. That way most of this would never be used, and there would be no messages.
