Just setting CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE does not make the CONSOLE
silent without the silent env variable set. This adds a new
define to add this to the default environment easily

any reason you couldnt add silent=0 to CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS ?

I was just perturbed that setting CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE did not
actually make the console silent - I thought it would be cleaner to
have a define available for this. This is an optional patch though in
that sense

i know people are surprised by this from time to time, but i think the README 
is pretty clear about it.  is there clarification there that you'd like ?

since CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS is board-specific, i'm not sure adding another 
board-specific define for a single default env var gains us anything.

Not really too concerned either way here.

Some of our boards have some really long CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS and
it's nice to try to keep that shorter by moving stuff into
CONFIG_NFSBOOTCOMMAND, CONFIG_RAMBOOTCOMMAD,
CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_AT_BOOT, etc. but beyond that we can just add to
our CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS as well.

we had a similar thing with Blackfin boards, but we just made it our own set 
of defines that eventually culminated in a single CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS

Mike has explained why: I NAK this, too.
