When both CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV and CONFIG_NETCONSOLE are defined the user can have stdout set to nc (netconsole).
This causes problems because u-boot will try to write to nc as soon as GD_FLG_DEVINIT is set in gd->flags, which happens before the network devices are initialized in net/eth.c. This results in error messages being spewed out. To prevent this problem set GD_FLG_DEVINIT in net/eth.c:eth_initialize(), after the network devices have been initialized, instead of in common/console.c:console_init_r().
