This patch adds an OPAL console backend to the powerpc boot wrapper so
that decompression failures inside the wrapper can be reported to the
user. This is important since it typically indicates data corruption in
the firmware and other nasty things.
Currently this only works when building a little endian kernel. When
compiling a 64 bit BE kernel the wrapper is always build 32 bit to be
compatible with some 32 bit firmwares. BE support will be added at a
later date. Another limitation of this is that only the "raw" type of
OPAL console is supported, however machines that provide a hvsi console
also provide a raw console so this is not an issue in practice.

On some platforms a 5 second timeout during boot might be quite long, so
make it configurable. Run the loop at least once to let the user stop
the boot by holding a key pressed. If the timeout is set to 0, don't
wait for input, which can be used as a workaround if the boot hangs on
random data coming in on the serial port.

This adds the bootwrapper for the cuImage target and a compatible property
check for "pnpPNP,501" to the generic serial console support code.
The default link address for the cuImage target is set to 0x800000. This
allows to boot the kernel with AmigaOS4's second level bootloader, which
always loads a uImage at 0x500000.

Compatible names should refer to a specific version of the hardware,
without wildcards. Change each instance of mv64x60 to mv64360, which
is the oldest version we currently support.

This serial port is used on all 8xx, many 82xx, and some 85xx chips.
The driver requires that the port has already been set up by the firmware
and/or platform code.

1. Search the entire compatible list for serial devices.
The serial code previously did a simple strcmp on the compatible
node; this fails when the match string is not the first compatible
listed. Use dt_is_compatible() instead.
2. Don't call serial_edit_cmdline if getc isn't defined.

The bootwrapper requires a serial driver to allow cmdline editing
and information reporting on the console. This driver is required
by platforms that boot a zImage and use the MPSC for the console.

Add serial console support for non-OF systems. There is a generic serial
console layer which calls a serial console driver. Included is the serial
console driver for the ns16550 class of uarts. Necessary support routines
are added as well.
