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,
