commit 8cac2c5658930441158638db1f7d692f82201fe3 Author: Ronald G. Minnich rminnich@gmail.com Date: Fri May 3 18:25:27 2013 +0200
Get rid of MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL; compile all messages into the coreboot binary.
This option has never had much if any use. It solved a problem over 10 years ago that resulted from an argument over the value or lack thereof of including all the debug strings in a coreboot image. The answer is in: it's a good idea to maintain the capabilty of print all messages, for many reasons.
It's also misleading people, as in a recent discussion, to believe that log messges are controlled at build time in a way they are not. For the record, from this day forward, we can print messages at all log levels and the maximum log level is set at boot time, as directed by DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL. You can set the default to 0 and if you are having trouble override it in CMOS and get more messages..
Besides, a quick glance shows it's always set to max (9 in this case) in the very few cases (1) in which it is set.
