    Blackfin: catch hardware errors earlier during booting · 837ec2d5
    Robin Getz authored
    Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
    leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
    system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).
    
    This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
    hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
    error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled.  This will catch errors
    (like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
    infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
    setup_arch().
    
    To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.
