I don't agree, the banner is tell people we are in SPL now, we should 
print it as soon as

possible,  if any of step like led, env, relocate and etc fails, then 
user can not see anything,

they don't event know if we have get into SPL. The update of leds and 
env does not depends

on banner print.


Thanks,
