Currently the serial code assumes that there is always at least one serial
port (and panics / crashes due to null pointer dereferences when there is
none).
This makes it impossible to use u-boot on boards where there is no (debug)
serial port, because e.g. all uart pins are muxed to another function.
This commit adds a CONFIG_REQUIRE_SERIAL_CONSOLE Kconfig option, which
defaults to y (preserving existing behavior), which can be set to n on
such boards to make them work.
This commit only implements this for CONFIG_DM_SERIAL=y configs, as allowing
running without a serial port for CONFIG_DM_SERIAL=n configs is non trivial,
and is not necessary at this moment.

Add a debug UART implementation for this serial driver. It does not set up
pinmux automatically - this must be done before calling debug_uart_init().

This UART permits different register spacing. To support the debug UART on
devices which have a spacing other than 1 byte, allow the shift value to
be specified.

Add debug UART functions to permit ns16550 to provide an early debug UART.
Try to avoid using the stack so that this can be called from assembler before
a stack is set up (at least on ARM and PowerPC).

This came up in a discussion on the mailing list here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/384613/
My concerns at the time were:
- it doesn't need to be written in assembler
- it doesn't need to be ARM-specific
This patch provides a possible alternative. It works by allowing any serial
driver to export one init function and provide a putc() function. These
can be used to output debug data before the real serial driver is available.
This implementation does not depend on driver model, and it is possible for
it to operate without a stack on some architectures (e.g. PowerPC, ARM). It
provides the same features as the ARM-specific debug.S but with more UART
and architecture support.
