-Subject: [PATCH] Add a retry limit when writing to uart console
-
-Seems that if the serial console is incorrectly
-configured in the dtb, writing to it may block indefinitely,
-thus preventing the board from booting.
-
-Let's add a retry count to unblock in such cases.
-
-Upstream-status: Inappropriate [configuration]
