On the raspberry pi, you can disable the serial port to gain dynamic frequency
scaling which can get handy at times.
However, in such a configuration the serial controller gets its rx queue filled
up with zero bytes which then happily get transmitted on to whoever calls
getc() today.
This patch adds detection logic for that case by checking whether the RX pin is
mapped to GPIO15 and disables the mini uart if it is not mapped properly.
That way we can leave the driver enabled in the tree and can determine during
runtime whether serial is usable or not, having a single binary that allows for
uart and non-uart operation.

This syncs up the current cmd/Kconfig and include/configs/ files with the
only exception being CMD_NAND. Due to how we have used this historically
we need to take further care here when converting.

Move all cases of CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER out of the config.h files. Remove
all cases of CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 as everyone uses the default.

On all Pis so far, the VC FW provides a short stub to set up the ARM CPU
before entering the kernel (a/k/a U-Boot for us). This feature is not
currently supported by the VC FW when booting in 64-bit mode. However,
this feature will likely appear in the near future, and this U-Boot port
assumes that such a feature is in place. Without that feature, or a
temporary workaround described below, U-Boot will not boot.
Once the VC FW does provide the ARM stub, u-boot.bin built for rpi_3 can
be used drectly as kernel7.img, in the same way as any other RPi port. The
following config.txt is required:
# Fix mini UART input frequency, and setup/enable up the UART.
# Without this option, U-Boot will not boot, even if you don't care
# about the serial console. This option will always be required for
# all RPi3 use-cases, unless the PL011 UART is used, which is not
# yet supported by rpi_3* builds of U-Boot.
enable_uart=1
# Boot in AArch64 (64-bit) mode.
# It is possible that a future VC FW will remove the need for this
# option, instead auto-setting 32-/64-bit mode based on the "kernel"
# filename present on the SD card.
arm_control=0x200
Prior to the VC FW providing the ARM boot stub, you can use the following
steps to build an equivalent stub into the U-Boot binary:
git clone https://github.com/swarren/rpi-3-aarch64-demo.git \
../rpi-3-aarch64-demo
(cd ../rpi-3-aarch64-demo && ./build.sh)
Build U-Boot for rpi_3 in the usual way
cat ../rpi-3-aarch64-demo/armstub64.bin u-boot.bin > u-boot.bin.stubbed
Use u-boot.bin.stubbed as kernel7.img on the Pi SD card.
In this case, the following additional entries are required in config.txt:
# Tell the FW to load the kernel image at address 0, the reset vector.
kernel_old=1
