[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/7] Implement UART-based boot of TI K3 AM65x SoCs

[Andreas Dannenberg]

This series enables UART-based boot of TI K3 AM65x SoCs by extending
the TI K3 System Firmware (SYSFW) loader with support for UART-based
loading of SYSFW. This is done by tapping into the existing SPL Y-Modem
serial loader framework to accomplish the actual loading functionality.
The series also implements a feature called "early console" which allows
setting up an alternate full console (as required by Y-Modem) provided
through an alternate serial port (a serial port different from what will
be used by U-Boot proper/Linux in a system) which can be configured and
used prior to SYSFW being available

Specifically, the MAIN_UART0 in case of AM654x SoCs can't be used in the
early boot process (on R5 SPL) to load SYSFW as it is not clocked. However
since the MCU_UART0 is readily available prior to loading SYSFW we use it
during the early boot process via said "early console" functionality, and
then later switch over to using MAIN_UART0 both for the continued boot
process as well as for the actual U-Boot console itself (and Linux, etc.)

This series depends on [1] to be able to boot to prompt on the TI AM654x
EVM. Sample instructions on how to boot are provided in the updates to
the board-specific README.
