I just got an of-list mail from Karsten Merker that you nacked the addition
if this during the initial submission, because there are no accessible uart
test pads on this tablet.

In that case the proper fix would be to change the u-boot defconfig to have:

# CONFIG_REQUIRE_SERIAL_CONSOLE is not set

Which will stop u-boot from panicking (with nowhere to print the panic msg)
when it has no stdout-path.

Can you unqueue this one until we've figured out what the best fix is ?

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
