+Temporary logging within a single file
+--------------------------------------
+
+Sometimes it is useful to turn on logging just in one file. You can use this:
+
+ #define LOG_DEBUG
+
+to enable building in of all logging statements in a single file. Put it at
+the top of the file, before any #includes.
+
+To actually get U-Boot to output this you need to also set the default logging
+level - e.g. set CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL to 7 (LOGL_DEBUG) or more. Otherwise
+debug output is suppressed and will not be generated.
