Ok, I can see your problem. I think we should rather define a board
specific function to display a banner than a string, so something like:

config BOARD_BANNER
       bool

#ifdef CONFIG_BOARD_BANNER
       display_board_banner();
#else
       printf(RELOC("Board: " CONFIG_BOARDINFO "\n"));
#endif

This way we can also show runtime dependent information in the banner
(like baseboard or whatever).

Sounds great, I'll do this. Is there anyone responsible for the list in first place ?
Because if I do this in one way but someone would prefer do it another way and
finally the git boss wants it a third way.......

I'll try to post the new patch in response to this thread
using the right git command...By the way, I there anything more user friendly
than the git command line to send email in the right format ?

I told you this is a practice/test patch so I have a lot of questions/comments !

Don't worry, the amount of comments you receive usually is not
proportional to the patch size you send ;)

Sascha

Ok, because I was worry :)
