Dear Simon Glass,

It should be noted that this commit changes the behaviour of U-Boot
for "autostart" users, thus it has the potential of breaking
existent systems.

The problematic cases are in do_bootelf() [cmd/elf.c] and
do_bootm_standalone() [common/bootm_os.c]; the 3rd place where this
is used - bootm_maybe_autostart() [cmd/bootm.c] - does not change.

Or am I missing something?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
