From 4b4b13d5fec8a82ed2780c487e49cfc4321a8c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Kagstrom Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 12:19:00 +0100 Subject: powerpc/boot: Parse chosen/cmdline-timeout parameter On some platforms a 5 second timeout during boot might be quite long, so make it configurable. Run the loop at least once to let the user stop the boot by holding a key pressed. If the timeout is set to 0, don't wait for input, which can be used as a workaround if the boot hangs on random data coming in on the serial port.
