Why not just change the default for CONFIG_LOG to y? This is effectively
the same, except it still allows users to completely disable logging
altogether.

I have tested your suggestion for qemu_arm64_defconfig:
Without my patch and CONFIG_LOG=n:
u-boot.bin 664200 bytes
With my patch and CONFIG_LOG=n:
u-boot.bin 664432 bytes
Without my patch but with CONFIG_LOG=y and CONFIG_CONSOLE=y:
u-boot.bin 666648 bytes
So your suggestion consumes 2216 additional bytes to produce the
essentially the same console output.
IMHO CONFIG_LOG=y is currently only helpful in the following situation:
* You are debugging your board and want to interactively change
logging levels.
* You want to log to a remote syslog server.
