    I'd say it's not very practical to change the console's baud rate from 
U-Boot's default (AFAIR changing baud rate in U-Boot didn't work)...

    Hm, does this even work as intended? I've tried to boot another R8A7794 
based board and I couldn't get any output with alike command line. Booting 
with 'earlyprintk=serial' has shown that tty0 was enabled as a console which 
is not what we wanted.
