Vadim Bendebury 897123ab2f libpayload: ipq808x: introduce uart driver
This adds a UART driver for the ipq8064 controller. It still does not
quite work in the receive direction - the receive FIFO returns read
data in 32 bit chunks, which means that 4 keys need to be pressed
before a character pops out of the driver (and it reports it as a
single character).

This issue is being addressed separately, the driver is being checked
in to facilitate concurrent development.

TEST=with deptcharge modifications in place, the AP148 board comes up
     to the depthcharge prompt:

Julius Werner 2fe505bd9a libpayload: console: Allow output drivers to print whole strings at once
The console output driver framework in libpayload is currently built on
the putchar primitive, meaning that every driver's function gets called
one character at a time. This becomes an issue when we add drivers that
could output multiple characters at a time, but have a high constant
overhead per invocation (such as the planned GDB stub, which needs to
wrap a special frame around output strings and wait for an
acknowledgement from the server).

This patch adds a new 'write' function pointer to the
console_output_driver structure as an alternative to 'putchar'. Output
drivers need to provide at least one of the two ('write' is preferred if
available). The CBMEM console driver is ported as a proof of concept
(since it's our most performace-critical driver and should in theory
benefit the most from less function pointer invocations, although it's
probably still negligible compared to the big sprawling mess that is
printf()).

Even with this fix, the problem remains that printf() was written with
the putchar primitive in mind. Even though normal text already contains
an optimization to allow multiple characters at a time, almost all
formatting directives cause their output (including things like
padding whitespace) to be putchar()ed one character at a time.
Therefore, this patch reworks parts of the output code (especially
number printing) to all but remove that inefficiency (directives still
invoke an extra write() call, but at least not one per character). Since
I'm touching printf() core code anyway, I also tried to salvage what I
could from that weird, broken "return negative on error" code path (not
that any of our current output drivers can trigger it anyway).

A final consequence of this patch is that the responsibility to prepend
line feeds with carriage returns is moved into the output driver
implementations. Doing this only makes sense for drivers with explicit
cursor position control (i.e. serial or video), and things like the
CBMEM console that appears like a normal file to the system really have
no business containing carriage returns (we don't want people to
accidentally associate us with Windows, now, do we?).

BUG=chrome-os-partner:18390
TEST=Made sure video and CBMEM console still look good, tried printf()
with as many weird edge-case strings as I could find and compared serial
output as well as sprintf() return value.

Gabe Black a6aecc41ef libpayload: serial: Move the depthcharge serial drivers into libpayload.
These drivers need to be ready right away and never really fit into the
depthcharge driver model anyway.

and daisy.
