Yes, we'll get there eventually. What I'd really like to have is to be
able to, at compile time, associate a debug console with a PBL entry point
that would also work prior to relocation. That debug console should be
inherited into barebox proper to be used until a console driver was
initialized.

We are not there yet though and I still didn't figure some stuff out.
So I'd prefer postponing this more generic until a second boards needs it.

Cheers,
Ahmad
