Hi,
I realize this might be controversial, and for that I apologize.
<rant>
I'm really tired of having to explain to people about the serial console
stuff on a small board that has hdmi built in.
I believe this is one of the major reasons Fedora isn't listed first (or
at all) on these boards lists of distributions. For someone just
starting out, getting a serial port up and running is way too high of a
starting block.

I realize the reason for wanting/needing uboot to go through a serial
port. But with F23, we have a uboot that will handle hdmi on a vast
majority of the arm boards.
I see a few ways of having both serial and hdmi/vga.
1 - Find a nice configuration that does output for both.
2 - Having two uboot packages
3 - Building two binaries for each board in the current uboot package.
4 - Do away with the patch and simply use the default uboot configuration.

p.s. I do realize the current build time of uboot is large already.
p.p.s. I am willing and able to do leg work for some of this. But I'm
asking first because I don't want to get shot down after I've done the work.
