[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/7] serial: Allow boards to determine whether a serial device is usable

[Alexander Graf]

On some boards, serial devices may or may not be muxed properly to actual
pins, depending on firmware configuration. To determine whether we should
use a serial device for U-Boot in-/output, we need to check whether it
is muxed properly.

This is something only the board file can do, so let's expose a weak
function that a board can override to explicitly allow or disallow
usage of certain serial devices.
