bd34715599 console: Always define the console-recording functions
On boards without console recording these function are currently missing.
It is more convenient for them to be present but to return dummy values.
That way if we know that a test needs recording, we can check if it is
available, and skip the test if not, while avoiding #ifdefs.

Update the header file according and adjust console_record_reset_enable()
to return an error if recording is not available.

493a4c8af7 console: Add a way to output to serial only
In the video drivers it is useful to print errors while debugging but
doing so risks an infinite loop as the debugging info itself may go
through the video drivers.

Add a new console function that prints information only to the serial
device, thus making it safe for use in debugging.

b612312816 console: Add a function to read a line of the output / eof
When recording the console output for testing it is useful to be able to
read the output a line at a time to check that the output is correct. Also
we need to check that we get to the end of the output.

Add a console function to return the next line and another to see how must
data is left.

83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

b0895384be Allow displaying the U-Boot banner on a video display
At present the U-Boot banner is only displayed on the serial console. If
this is not visible to the user, the banner does not show. Some devices
have a video display which can usefully display this information.

Add a banner which is printed after relocation only on non-serial devices
if CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE is defined.

9854a8748c console: Add a console buffer
It is useful to be able to record console output and provide console input
via a buffer. This provides sandbox with the ability to run a command and
check its output. If the console is set to silent then no visible output
is generated.

This also provides a means to fix the problem where tests produce unwanted
output, such as errors or warnings. This can be confusing. We can instead
set the console to silent and record this output. It can be checked later
in the test if required.

It is possible that this may prove useful for non-test situations. For
example the console output may be suppressed for normal operations, but
recorded and stored for access by the OS. That feature is not implemented
at present.

24b852a7a2 Move console definitions into a new console.h file
The console includes a global variable and several functions that are only
used by a small subset of U-Boot files. Before adding more functions, move
the definitions into their own header file.

52cb4d4fb3 stdio/device: rework function naming convention
So far the console API uses the following naming convention:

	======Extract======
	typedef struct device_t;

	int	device_register (device_t * dev);
	int	devices_init (void);
	int	device_deregister(char *devname);
	struct list_head* device_get_list(void);
	device_t* device_get_by_name(char* name);
	device_t* device_clone(device_t *dev);
	=======

which is too generic and confusing.

Instead of using device_XX and device_t we change this
into stdio_XX and stdio_dev

This will also allow to add later a generic device mechanism in order
to have support for multiple devices and driver instances.
