At present on a cold reboot we must reset the CPU to get it to full speed.
With 64-bit U-Boot this happens in SPL. At present we print the banner
before doing this, the end result being that we print the banner twice.
Print the banner a little later (after the CPU is ready) to avoid this.

Looks no difference when testing this on QEMU 64-bit. Am I missing anything?

I suspect that QEMU doesn't have this problem, but on chromebook_link
we have to reset to change the CPU speed.
